Smash Burgers

 

Smash burgers are a deliciously simple yet flavor-packed type of burger. Made by pressing ground beef balls flat on a hot griddle or skillet, they develop a crispy, caramelized crust thanks to the Maillard reaction. This technique creates a juicy interior and a savory exterior. Seasoned with just salt and pepper, smash burgers are typically served on soft buns with classic toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and special sauce. 🍔
