Method

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment: a skillet or grill, a spatula, a knife, and a plate for assembling the burger.

  2. Slice the tomato and lettuce as indicated; set the sliced lettuce aside on a paper towel to stay crisp.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The vegetables are sliced and the lettuce remains crisp. Set the lettuce on paper towel as directed.

  3. Preheat a skillet or grill over medium‑high heat (about 375°F / 375°F). Lightly oil the surface if using a skillet.

  4. Place the Iberico pork patty in the hot pan and cook for 3–4 minutes on the first side, resisting the urge to press it down.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The first side has browned and releases without sticking. Avoid pressing down on the patty.

  5. Flip the patty and cook another 3 minutes, then lay the sliced American cheese on top to melt during the final minute of cooking.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cheese is melted over the cooked patty.

  6. While the patty finishes, lightly toast the brioche bun halves cut‑side down for 30 seconds until golden.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cut sides are golden.

  7. Assemble the burger: spread the bottom bun with any desired condiments, layer the lettuce, then the tomato slices.

  8. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the vegetables, add the Iberico ham slices, and cap with the top bun.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Add the ham over the patty before capping with the bun.

  9. Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as fries or a simple salad.
