Instructions Set the EGG for direct cooking (without the convEGGtor) at 600°F/316°C. Using a Cast Iron Grid will leave those beautiful sear marks.Form the meat into 4 (8-ounce) patties about 1 inch thick. Season with the granulated garlic, salt and pepper and set aside. Cut the buns in half horizontally and brush the inside of each half with butter.Place the hamburgers on the cooking grid, close the lid of the EGG, and cook for 3 minutes per side, for medium-rare. Top each burger with a slice of cheese, close the lid of the EGG, and cook for 30 seconds longer, until the cheese is melted. Transfer the burgers to a plate and let them rest while you grill the buns, buttered side down, until lightly toasted.To assemble, place each burger inside a bun and top with a lettuce leaf.Serves 4
