Extra virgin olive oil |

large cloves garlic, cut lengthwise into quarters |

Instructions: |

Combine ground beef, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties, shaping to fit the bread slices. |

Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160° F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. |

Meanwhile brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil. Place bread around outer edge of grid. Grill a few minutes until lightly toasted, turning once. Remove bread slices from grid; rub both sides of each slice with a garlic quarter. |

|
Place one lettuce leaf on four of the bread slices; top each with a burger. Sprinkle evenly with cheese; cover with remaining bread slices. Cut burgers in half; arrange on lettuce-lined platter, if desired. |
