French Onion Burger {gluten free}
This French Onion Burger is a restaurant-style burger at home! It's gluten-free and low lactose.
Ingredients
For the onions
- 1 tbsp fourth and heart Ghee Butter Stick Unsalted
- 1 ½ yellow onions sliced thin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp coconut sugar optional, see notes
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp dried thyme
For the burgers
- 2 beef patties
- Salt and pepper
- Fourth and heart ghee cooking spray
- 2 tbsp goat cheese optional, lower lactose option, but not lactose-free
For serving
- 2 tbsp mayo of choice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- 2 gluten-free buns of choice
Instructions
- Using a medium skillet, heat the ghee over medium-low heat. Add the yellow onions to the pan and a pinch of salt. Stir the onion for about 20 minutes, allowing to cook slowly. To speed up the process, add the coconut sugar and toss to coat.
- Saute for about another 5 minutes and add the coconut aminos, red wine vinegar and dried thyme. Stir until the onions are softened and golden brown. Set aside.
- While the onions are caramelizing, preheat the oven to 375 F (alternatively, you can use an outdoor grill if weather permits). Season the burgers with salt and pepper.
- Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with ghee cooking spray. Add the burgers and bake for 20-25 min or until cooked to your liking, and flipping halfway. Add cheese if desired and broil to melt. Set aside.
- Combine the mayo and garlic powder to make an aioli and add to the tops of the buns.
- Layer the burgers with the onion on top, and top off with the burger bun.
Notes
Coconut sugar helps to speed up the caramelization process, but you can easily omit it if desired and just cook the onions longer.
