Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the patties and cook without moving them until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and lower the heat to medium. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 3 to 4 minutes. Top with cheese and let the cheese melt.
