Equipment

  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoons
  • French knife
  • Skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Large Vidalia Onion sliced
  • 1/4 cup Brandy
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tsp Fresh Thyme
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 oz Comté Cheese sliced
  • 500 g Ground Beef
  • 4 Brioche Buns
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Aioli
  • 4 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 4 Cornichon Pickles sliced

Instructions

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over low heat; add onions. Simmer 30-45 minutes to caramelize and develop a deep golden colour. Add brandy and Worcestershire Sauce, simmer and stir until alcohol has cooked off and the flavours combine, 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, hand blend thyme with the ground beef, form into four patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Brush cut sides of buns with butter and pan sear or grill to golden brown.
  • Pan sear or grill patties 4-5 minutes on one side, flip and top each with caramelized onions and Comté cheese. Continue to cook another 4-5 minutes until the burger reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • ASSEMBLY: On the top of each bun slather with mayonnaise and dijon mustard. On the bottom bun squirt ketchup and place sliced pickles. Using a spatula, gently slide the onion and cheese topped burger patties over the pickles. Sandwich the burger together by gently pressing the top bun onto the burger patty. Serve hot with frites.
