Transfer the burger to the skillet and cook until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Using a large spatula, flip the burger and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. 4. Spread the dressing on the toasted bread bottom and top. Slide the burger onto the bread bottom; top with the lettuce leaves and the bread top. Cut into wedges to serve. |
