1
Prepare the Pickled Onions
If you don't have pickled onions, you can prepare them by slicing red onions thinly and soaking them in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water with a pinch of sugar and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
2
Make the Tomato Jam
In a saucepan, combine fresh tomatoes, a bit of sugar, salt, and lemon juice. Simmer on low heat until thickened, about 30-40 minutes. Let cool.

3
Form and Season the Patties
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
4
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of smoked gouda on top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

5
Toast the Brioche Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Build the Burger
Spread a generous amount of tomato jam on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Place the cooked patty with melted smoked gouda on top, followed by a handful of arugula and a scoop of pickled onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
