Garlic toast bacon cheese burger.

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Toast

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare a grill or skillet over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley.
3. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
4. Toast the bread in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet, buttered side down, until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Burger Patties

1. In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to combine.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
3. Cook the patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 3: Assemble the Burger

1. On the toasted garlic bread, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato and optional onion.
2. Add the cheese-topped burger patty.
3. Place two slices of crispy bacon on top of the cheese.
4. If desired, add your choice of condiments.
5. Top with another slice of garlic toast, crispy side facing out.

Step 4: Serving

1. Serve the garlic toast bacon cheeseburger immediately while warm and crispy.
2. Pair with sides like fries, onion rings, or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Tips for the Perfect Burger

• Patty Thickness: Aim for patties that are about ¾ inch thick to ensure they cook evenly and remain juicy.
• Don’t Overmix: Handle the beef mixture as little as possible to keep the patties tender.
• Resting the Meat: Let the cooked patties rest for a couple of minutes before assembling the burgers to allow the juices to redistribute.
