  • 3 (1 oz) cubes philly cream cheese (from the block)

Caramelized onions:

    • Saute 1 medium thinly sliced sweet onion in butter and a pinch of each brown sugar and salt until golden brown. Add a 1/2 cup of SL Guava Fig BBQ sauce. Set aside until ready to top the burger.


Burgers:

  • Combine all ingredients except cream cheese and caramelized onion. Form 6 thin patties. Place 1 cream cheese cube between 2 thin patties and press to form a thicker patty. Make sure to seal the edges well. Pan fry or grill until medium or medium well. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes before serving to allow cream cheese to melt with residual heat. Serve on a grilled brioche bun with a swipe of mayo and topped with the caramelized onion and bbq mixture.
