Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Red Onion Marmalade

    Slice the red onion thinly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Form and Cook the Burger Patties

    Form the ground beef into two patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute, place a slice of Marin brie on top of each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place the burger patty with melted brie, followed by two slices of crispy bacon and a generous spoonful of red onion marmalade. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Tavern Burger with your choice of sides.
