Arahan

Add the cream cheese, Greek yoghurt, diced gherkins, gherkin juice, spring onions, jalapeño, crispy bacon, garlic granules, paprika, onion granules, dried parsley, and fresh dill to a bowl.

Taste and adjust if needed, then set aside in the fridge to chill. This helps the flavours develop and makes the pickle dip even better for your pickle dip smashburgers.

In a bowl, combine the beef mince with paprika, Cajun seasoning, garlic granules, salt, pepper and yellow mustard. Mix gently until just combined. Divide into balls depending on whether you want single or double pickle dip smashburgers (you'll need less mince for single). Avoid overworking the meat to keep the patties tender. Lightly toast the brioche buns until golden.

Spread a thin layer of burger sauce on the bottom buns and top with lettuce. This creates a barrier that stops the buns from going soggy and helps you assemble your pickle dip smashburgers quickly.

Heat a pan over medium high heat with a little oil. Place the beef balls into the pan and immediately smash them down using a spatula. For easier smashing, you can use small squares of parchment paper between the spatula and the meat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are crispy and caramelised. This is key for that classic pickle dip smashburgers texture.

Flip each patty and immediately add a slice of cheese. Cover briefly to help the cheese melt perfectly.

Place the hot patties onto the prepared buns. Top each with a generous spoon of pickle dip and any extra crispy bacon if you like.
