cuban style burger

[Oz]

1 pound ground chuck
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup best quality mayonnaise
3 cloves roasted garlic, pureed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
4 hamburger buns
4 slices thinly sliced smoked ham
8 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese
2 dill pickles, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices

Form the meat into 4 (1/4-inch thick) burgers. Season the meat with
salt and pepper on both sides and cook in a saute pan over high heat
to medium doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season
with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread both sides of each bun with
mayonnaise and mustard.

Place a slice of cheese on the bottom portion of each bun, place
the burger on top of the cheese, then top the burger with a slice
of ham then another slice of cheese then the pickle slices. Place
the tops of the bun over the pickles and cook on a sandwich press
or wrap the burgers in aluminum foil and cook in a hot skillet over
high heat with a heavy skillet placed on top of the burger to press
the sandwich. Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted.
