Garlic Parmesan Dipped Burgers

Instructions

1. 1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until deeply caramelized and golden, about 15-20 minutes. Push to the side of the pan.
2. 2. Increase heat to medium-high. Place the beef balls in the pan and smash each flat with a spatula; season with salt and pepper. Sear until a crust forms, about 2 minutes, then flip, top each with a cheese slice, and cook until just melted, another 1-2 minutes.
3. 3. Toast the brioche buns cut-side down in the same pan until golden. Set the patties and buns aside; keep the bacon nearby.
4. 4. Lower heat to medium and add the butter to the pan. Saute the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds, scraping up all the caramelized bits.
5. 5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the parmesan and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. 6. Build the burgers: bottom bun, bacon, patty, caramelized onions, top bun. Cut each burger in half.
7. 7. Spoon a pool of the garlic parmesan sauce onto a deep plate. Place each burger half cut-side down in the sauce. Serve with fries alongside for dipping, garnished with parsley.
