INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE THE AIOLI

1. In a medium-sized bowl, place all the ingredients, and whisk until well blended.
2. Can be made one day ahead, covered with plastic, and kept in the fridge.

PREPARE THE SLIDERS

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and cook until caramelized and browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir. Set aside, but keep warm.
3. Salt and pepper each side of the patties.
4. Press an indention with your fingers/thumbs in the center of the patty.
5. Heat your grill to medium heat, or heat your skillet to medium heat. (If using your cast-iron skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil.)
6. Once fully heated, add the patties. Cook for about four minutes, then flip. Cook the other side for about four minutes.
7. In the last minute, add the cheese.
8. Meanwhile, slice the buns, butter them, and place them under the broiler for about 3 minutes (Keep an eye on them! Time varies depending on the oven).
9. Remove burgers from heat.
10. Smear the aioli on each bottom bun. Place the burger on the aioli and then top it with a pile of warm caramelized onions. Place the top bun on the slider and serve at once.
