French Onion Soup Burgers
Enjoy a burger like no other by trying this French Onion Soup Burger recipe. It’s a perfect dish for special occasions.
Ingredients
- French Onion Soup:
- 1 pound salted butter
- 3 large yellow onions, cut into large slices
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup dried Italian Seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs, leaves only
- Salt and pepper
- Burger:
- Four 8-ounce burger patties
- 4 brioche buns
- 8 slices Gruyère
- Paprika, for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Make the French Onion Soup: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add Italian seasoning, bay leaves, onions and garlic.
Cook, stirring every 5 minutes to avoid sticking or burning, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
2. Add the Broth & Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and add the fresh thyme. Turn the heat up to bring it to a low boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 20 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Take it off the heat and let it cool before refrigerating overnight.
3. Reheat the Soup & Prep the Grill: The next day, reheat the French onion soup on low for 8-10 minutes (skim off any solidified butter fat before reheating).
Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill & Assemble the Burgers: Grill the burger patties to your liking. To assemble, place the bottom half of a brioche bun in an oven-safe bowl.
Add a patty and top it with a generous scoop of the French onion soup (pile more onions on the patty and ladle the broth around the bun like a moat).
Lay 2 slices of Gruyère cheese on top and sprinkle with a little paprika. Repeat for the other servings.
5. Broil & Serve: Broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, then top with the remaining brioche bun halves.
Now that your dish is ready, serve it with a fork, knife, and spoon for the ultimate French onion burger experience that will have you coming back for more!
