Heat the oil in a large frying pan or griddle over a high heat. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes on one side without moving them.

Flip and cook for 3 more minutes. Lay a cheese slice on each for the last minute so it melts.

Stir together the mayonnaise and ketchup. Build the burgers with sauce, lettuce, tomato, burger and gherkins.
