Method
Divide the meat into 8 balls (about 60 g each) without overworking it.
Mix the mayonnaise with the mustard and a spoonful of chopped pickles; this is the sauce.
Butter the buns and toast them on the griddle for a minute, then set aside.
Heat a griddle or cast-iron pan over high heat until very hot and add two balls.
Press each ball down hard with a flat spatula (with baking paper in between) into a thin patty, and season with salt and pepper.
Leave for 2 minutes without moving until browned and crisp, flip, add a cheese slice, and cook for 1 minute.
Build the bun with sauce, onion, pickles and two patties stacked, and serve right away.
