I put it on right after flipping but it didn’t melt enough. Since I was making sure to get a good sear I didn’t want to mess it up by adding a steam dome.
That’s a pretty reasonable tradeoff. We normally cook beyond burgers at home so that sear is valuable. But I throw a lid on top to melt the cheese anyways. As a side benefit you can get that slightly burnt cheese crust and you still get the crust on the bottom of the patty.
Melt that cheese!

And I actually like cheddar with a little texture still in it on my burger.
