Baked Smash with maple bourbon

Method

1. Start by prepping your brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the smash, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the butter lettuce along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with toasted nuts and a final crack of pepper.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
