5. Grill the burgers, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and leave the grill on.
6. Spread the cut sides of each bun with cumin mayonnaise. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom of each bun and a burger on top of the cheese, then top the burger with a slice of ham. Add another slice of cheese, then three pickle slices. Cover with the tops of the buns and wrap each burger individually in aluminum foil.
