Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet French onion soup mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 croissants
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the French onion soup mix and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until combined and shape into four equal-sized patties.
- Grill the Patties: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties to your desired level of doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly until they become soft, golden, and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Toast the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half and toast them lightly either in a toaster oven, on a grill pan, or under a broiler until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place a beef patty on the bottom half of each toasted croissant. Immediately top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese to allow it to melt slightly, then add a generous amount of caramelized onions over the cheese.
- Serve: Top each burger with the croissant top half and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- For an extra touch, you can add a spread of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the croissants before assembling.
- To ensure even cooking, press the patties slightly in the center before grilling to prevent puffing up.
- If you prefer, the patties can be cooked on a stovetop skillet instead of a grill.
- Use day-old croissants if possible; they toast better and hold up to the burger fillings without becoming soggy.
