Ingredients

  • Ground beef (kosher) - 300 grams
  • Gruyère cheese - 100 grams, sliced
  • Burger buns (kosher) - 2
  • Onion - 1 large, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Butter - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
  • Dijon mustard - 2 teaspoons
  • Pickles - 4 slices

Steps

  1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking slowly for about 15 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown. Stir in the fresh thyme and set aside.
  2. While the onions are cooking, shape the ground beef into two equal patties. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip them over.
  4. Place the sliced Gruyère cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the burgers by spreading Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the cheeseburger patty, caramelized onions, and pickle slices. Finish with the top half of the bun.
  7. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
