1
Form the Patty
Take the house ground beef and form it into a patty, approximately 1 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Cook the Patty
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place 1 cup of gruyere cheese on top of the patty and cover to melt.

4
Slice the Onions
Thinly slice the medium onions.
5
Cook the Onions
In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized.

6
Prepare the Garlic
Mince the 2 garlic cloves.
7
Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise with the minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.

8
Prepare the Bun
Toast your choice of burger bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
9
Layer the Ingredients
Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked burger patty with melted gruyere on top, followed by a layer of caramelized onions and house pickles.
10
Finish the Burger
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
