Let’s break down how you can make the perfect smash burger right at home!
What Is a Smash Burger?
A smash burger is all about simplicity—thin, crispy edges, juicy centers, and maximum flavor. The key is smashing the burger patty onto a hot surface, creating a caramelized crust that’s bursting with beefy goodness.
The Perfect Smash Burger Method:
Preheat Your Pan Heat up your griddle or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. You want it smoking hot for the best sear.
Get Your Patties Ready Take your Herschel Burger of choice and form it into a loose ball (about 4 oz.). Don’t pack it too tightly—this helps with achieving the crispy edges.
Smash It Down Place the burger ball onto the hot pan, then use a heavy spatula (or a special smash burger press) to firmly press the burger into the pan. You want it thin and flat—about ¼ inch thick. Hold for a few seconds to ensure a good crust forms.
Season Immediately season the burger with salt and pepper while it’s cooking. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes without touching it.
Flip and Sear Using your spatula, flip the burger and give it another press to lock in the sear on the other side. If you're using the Cheddar Explosion, Jalapeño Cheddar, or Bacon Cheddar burgers, you'll already have melty goodness in the patty—no need to add cheese unless you're going extra cheesy!
Toast Your Buns While the burger is finishing up, toast your buns in butter on the pan or griddle. A golden-brown bun makes all the difference.
Assemble Place your crispy, juicy burger patty on the bun and top with your favorite toppings. Whether you like classic lettuce and tomato or something bold like pickled jalapeños or crispy bacon, the choice is yours!
Enjoy You now have a perfectly seared, juicy smash burger with your Herschel Burger of choice. Dig in and enjoy that crispy crust with every bite!
