This smash burger, created by the French 2 Michelin starred chef Jean-François Piège, is unique because it does not use a traditional bun. Adding The Laughing Cow® Professional Squeeze Emmental Cheese Sauce into a smash burger panini enhances the overall culinary experience by providing creaminess, flavour enhancement, texture contrast, and versatility, making it a valuable addition to this classic sandwich.

- 4 leaves of lettuce
- 120 g The Laughing Cow® Professional Squeeze Emmental Cheese sauce
- 2 panini breads

- Slice the panini breads in half and then spread The Laughing Cow® Professional Squeeze on the inner surfaces.
- Cut the tomatoes into thin slices.
- Brown the slices of bacon in the oven for 3 minutes at 220°C until they are golden. Blot off any excess fat.
- Cut the pickles in half lengthwise.
Assembly
- On the base of the panini, place the salad seasoned with The Laughing Cow® Professional Squeeze, add a few slices of tomato, the cooked patty, three slices of bacon, and the pickle halves. Top with the other side of the panini.
- Place the panini for 10 minutes in the panini maker, turning over halfway through.
