My husband LOVES to grill. He also LOVES to experiment! For the most part, his experiments turn out delicious! So I gave him a crack at a Once A Month Mom recipe! Taste and see what you think.

    1. Elisabeth, We know the recipe calls for more butter than is used but we can always find places to used herb butter on other recipes. The unused butter can be stored in the fridge or freezer.

  1. Can you clarify how to pan fry them, as it says to “seal up” and I’m not sure what that means in the pan frying context. Should I just put the patty in the pan with the butter on top and let it melt over it as it cooks? Thanks!

    1. Hi Kim, Great question. For this recipe, you just simply need to stick the cold butter in the center of the burger and seal it up. So what you can do is use your thumb to put in an indent in the burger, stick the butter in the middle, and then seal up/cover the butter with the hamburger so it seals the butter and you can’t see it. Hope this helps!
