Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped habanero pepper, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeños and remove seeds if desired for less heat. Add them to the skillet with the onions during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Form the ground beef into two 1/3 pound patties. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, adding a slice of pepper-jack cheese on top in the last minute to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Rolls

    While the patties are cooking, split the kaiser rolls and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of habanero aioli on the bottom half of each toasted kaiser roll. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by caramelized onions and jalapeños, lettuce, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the roll and serve.
