Tavern Burger Recipe

Sandwiches

1. 1

   Caramelize agave onions

   Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and starting to caramelize. Drizzle in the agave nectar and a pinch of salt; continue cooking until onions are deeply golden and sweet, about 8-12 minutes.

2. 2

   Make garlic aioli

   In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate briefly if desired to meld flavors.

3. 3

   Cook bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp and golden. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

4. 4

   Prepare beef patty and cheese

   Season the beef patty with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or cook in a hot skillet about 3-4 minutes per side for medium, flipping once. Place cheese slices on the patty during the last 30-60 seconds to melt.

5. 5

   Toast buns

   Split the sesame bun and toast cut sides on the grill or in a skillet until lightly browned.

6. 6

   Assemble Tavern Burger

   Spread garlic aioli on both cut sides of the bun. Place the cheese-melted patty on the bottom bun, top with bacon, and finish with agave onions. Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
