• Take the patties and onions out of the pan (let the oil drip into the pan for a while) and place on the bread
• Place the sliced cheese on top of the (hot) patty so that it melts easily
• Place two or three slices of tomatoes
• Wash the lettuce first then place it on the rest of the ingredients
• Spread some sauces as a top up and cover with the other slice of bread
