# Double Smash Burgers with Dijonnaise and Pickled Jalapeños - Made In

Chef Peter Klein of Holiday in Austin, TX, brings you this double smash burger recipe that combines crispy-edged beef, melty American cheese, charred pickled jalapeños, and sharp dijonnaise for a perfectly balanced burger.

Chef Peter Klein of [Holiday](https://www.holidayon7th.com/) in Austin, TX, leans into everything that makes a smash burger great: deeply caramelized crust, gooey American cheese, and a soft toasted bun. But what makes this version stand out is the balance. Instead of piling on heavy toppings, Klein uses sharp, acidic, and spicy elements to cut through the richness and keep every bite from feeling too heavy.

At the restaurant, burgers are cooked on a flattop, where the beef develops the crispy, lacy edges that define a great smash burger. Using [Made In’s Carbon Steel Griddle](https://madeincookware.com/products/carbon-steel-griddle) brings that same flattop-style cooking home, giving you the high, even heat needed to build a deeply browned crust while keeping the burgers juicy. The charred pickled jalapeños and sharp dijonnaise balance the richness of the beef and melty cheese, turning a classic smash burger into something layered, bright, and restaurant-worthy.
