Onions

Gruyère Mornay Sauce

Spiced Bacon

Brioche and Fries

Method

Prepare the Onions

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin rings.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Glaze the Onions

    Add the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are well-coated and the mixture is syrupy.

Make the Gruyère Mornay Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Incorporate the Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, nutmeg, and salt until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Prepare the Spiced Bacon

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 8

    Season the Bacon

    Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar and black pepper over the bacon.

  3. 9

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before chopping into pieces.

Prepare the Brioche and Fries

  1. 10

    Toast the Brioche

    Lightly toast the brioche buns in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.

  2. 11

    Cook the Shoestring Fries

    Prepare the frozen shoestring fries according to the package instructions until crispy.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 12

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each toasted brioche bun, layer the glazed onions, followed by the spiced bacon, and finish with a generous drizzle of Gruyère Mornay sauce.

  2. 13

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the assembled buns alongside the crispy shoestring fries.
