To one patty, add 1 full slice of cheese; fold back the corners leaving a small clear margin of meat. Top the slice of cheese with 4 of the quartered cheese squares. Add a second patty over top and seal the edges of the two patties together. Make sure that the edge is smooth and that there are no openings of cheese poking through. Repeat this process for the remaining patties. Place patties on a sheet pan and transfer to the freezer for at least 20-30 minutes before grilling. Before grilling lightly brush patties with olive oil.
