Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake for 12–15 minutes until burgers are cooked through.
- Sprinkle cheese on top and bake 2–3 more minutes until melted.

Notes
- You can assemble and refrigerate patties up to 1 day ahead; re-form before baking.
