The ComponentsBrioche Burger BunsI am a carb person, the buns matter equally to me as the patty. If the buns are crumbly, not fresh or just making a mess at every bite I take, then the buns are not right.

But, the sweet flavor blends so well with spiciness of the patty and the coolness of the sauce. To make caramelized onions, simply take a skillet, add olive oil and onions. Add some salt and keep stirring in between until they become soft and golden-ish brown.The Meat PattyThe recipe for this super tender patty can be found down below. I usually like my burger patty's of good size, about 170 gms each. Veggies, Cheese & Bacon. Three completely opposite ingredients but somehow linked together. It's optional to put more veggies (like lettuce, or raw onions). You may also put a slice of cheese, whether Cheddar, American or Mozzarella according to your taste preferences. If you're a fan of bacon, please add to it the burger, the crispiness blends well like anything. The Sauce- TzatzikiA cool sauce, made with yoghurt, garlic & cucumber among other ingredients, is what this burger needs to balance all the flavors correctly. Make it and have it with the burger. Here's the link to it:https://boyeatsworld.in/recipes/tzatziki/Let's get started with the recipe now.
