To assemble
3
Heat the heavy skillet over high heat and drizzle the olive oil over it.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
4
Grill the meatballs 3–4 minutes per side, until they are cooked to medium.
Stove
💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
5
In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each patty.
6
Halve the buns and toast them on the pan.
Knife
7
Spread the mayonnaise and mustard on the buns.
8
Arrange the lettuce and tomatoes in each bun, and top with a hot patty and a little of the fried onion. Serve with homemade fries.
