Ingredients

  • 2 large butter croissants
  • 0.5 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • as needed Salt
  • as needed Black pepper
  • 2 slices American or sharp cheddar cheese
  • as needed Lettuce
  • 2 slices thick tomato slices
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle
  • 0.25 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown and soft, about 15–20 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, chopped dill pickle, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Slice croissants in half horizontally. Toast cut side down in a pan over medium heat until lightly golden and slightly crisp. Remove and set aside.
  4. Divide ground beef into two portions. Place each portion between pieces of parchment or paper and press firmly to form thin patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  5. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel pan over high heat. Add the thin patties directly to the hot pan. Cook without moving until edges become crispy and browned, about 1–2 minutes. Flip and immediately add cheese. Cook until cheese is fully melted.
  6. Spread dill burger sauce on the bottom half of each croissant. Add lettuce and tomato. Place the cheesy patty on top, followed by caramelized onions. Add additional sauce if desired. Close with the top croissant.
  7. Stir parsley and salt into melted butter. Brush generously over the tops of the croissants just before serving.
  8. Serve immediately while warm, crispy, and glossy.
