Preparation Steps
- 1
Make the Onion Jam
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cups of thinly sliced onions and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Burger Patty
Form the ground beef into an 8 oz patty and season with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the patty to melt.

Assemble the Burger
Toast the sourdough bun until golden brown. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun, then add the cooked patty with melted Swiss cheese. Top with a generous spoonful of housemade onion jam and a handful of spring mix. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
