Cook for 2–3 minutes. As the edges crisp, spread a small dollop of yellow mustard over the top.
Flip the burger, add cheese immediately, and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining patties.
Tip: Scrape aggressively under the patty when flipping to keep the crust intact.
Step 5: Toast the Buns
On a clean skillet or griddle, melt a small amount of butter.
Place buns cut-side down and toast until golden, about 1–2 minutes.
Step 6: Assemble the Smash Burgers
Spread a generous spoonful of baconnaise on the bottom bun.
Add one cooked patty (with cheese).
Stack with a second patty.
Add any extras: lettuce, pickles, tomato slices (optional).
Top with another dollop of baconnaise and the top bun.
