Burger Components

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and black pepper. Shape into two equal patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add cheddar and fontina cheese on top of the patties in the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun, layer lettuce, a slice of tomato, the cheese-topped patty, caramelized onions, and house-made pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
