Finely dice the gherkin and onions. Set aside the cheese slices. Halve the burger buns. Carefully form the meat into two balls, each weighing 80-100g. For low-fat patties, heat a little oil in a pan. Cast iron or stainless steel pans are best. Place a meatball in the hot pan, place a piece of baking paper on top, and firmly press the meat flat using a small pot, grill spatula, or spatula. The meat surface should be slightly larger than the burger bun. Repeat with the second patty. Salt the meat after pressing it down. Fry the patties on one side until the underside is brown and crispy. Carefully loosen the meat from the bottom of the pan and turn it over. Season the other side with salt and ground pepper. Top each patty with a slice of cheese. Continue frying for about 1 minute, then stack the patties on top of each other and remove from the heat. Add butter to a nonstick pan and fry the bun halves until lightly golden brown on the cut side. Spread ketchup on one half and mustard on the other. Sprinkle with onions and pickles. Place the double patty with cheese on one half and cover with the other bun.
