Burger and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Aioli

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with minced garlic cloves and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patties

    Form the ground beef into two patties, season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet used for the onions, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place cantal cheese on top of each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet. Spread garlic aioli on both buns, place the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half, top with caramelized onions, and cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Prepare Pommes Frites

    While the burgers cook, cut potatoes into fries and fry them in hot oil until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt.
