Simply slice the bun horizontally to separate the top from the bottom. Place your cooked burger patty, along with desired toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and condiments, onto the bottom half. Then, place the top half over the fillings. For a warmer bun, you can lightly toast the cut sides in a pan or under a broiler for a few moments before assembling. Some people prefer to warm them slightly on a grill.
