French Hamburger
The French hamburger is a sophisticated take on the classic American burger, inspired by French cuisine. Camembert cheese, Dijon mustard, and caramelized onions create a unique flavor profile. These burgers began to gain popularity in France in the 2010s, where traditional fast food was increasingly being developed in a gourmet direction. The creamy texture and slightly nutty flavor of Camembert perfectly complements the juicy beef, while Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick. If you love French flavors, this burger will be a true gastronomic experience!

Preparation Steps
1
To make the caramelized onions, thinly slice the onion. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and sweet, stirring occasionally.
2
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh thyme. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3
Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through.
4
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Camembert cheese on top of each patty to allow it to melt slightly.
5
Halve the hamburger buns and toast the cut sides in a dry skillet for about 1 minute, until lightly golden.
6
Spread Dijon mustard and mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then top with arugula.
7
Place the patty with the melted Camembert cheese on top of the arugula, then pile on the caramelized onions.
8
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately while the cheese is still melted.
