Ingredients

Burger sauce

  • 2 tbsp fu:di Posh Mayo
  • 1 tbsp fu:di Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped pickles
  • 1 tsp pickle juice
  • ¼ tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp fu:di American Mustard
  • Small pinch fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Small pinch fresh chives, finely chopped 

Caramelised onions 

  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced 

Burgers 

  • 4 pre-smashed beef burgers 
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper 

Toasties 

  • 4 slices fu:di bread
  • Butter, softened
  • 4 slices smoked cheese
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Pickles, sliced 

Step 1 - Make the burger sauce 

Add the fu:di Posh Mayo, fu:di Ketchup, chopped pickles, pickle juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, fu:di American Mustard, dill and chives to a bowl. 

Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Step 2 - Caramelise the onions 

Heat the ghee in a frying pan over a medium-low heat. 

Add the sliced onions and cook gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft, sweet and golden. 

Set aside.

Step 3 - Cook the burgers 

Place the pre-smashed burgers onto a hot flat-top, griddle or frying pan. 

Season with sea salt and black pepper and cook until deeply caramelised on both sides and cooked through. 

Step 4 - Build the toasties 

Butter one side of each slice of fu:di bread. 

Place two slices onto a board with the buttered side facing down. 

Layer over the smoked cheese followed by the caramelised onions. 

Add one smashed burger, a spoonful of burger sauce, sliced tomato and sliced pickles. 

Top with the second smashed burger. 

Add the remaining caramelised onions and finish with the smoked cheese. 

Place the remaining bread on top with the buttered side facing upwards.

Step 5 - Cook the toasties 

Cook in a sandwich toaster over a low to medium heat until deeply golden and crisp and the cheese has fully melted. 

Allow to rest for 1 minute before slicing. 

To serve 

Slice in half and serve immediately while the cheese is molten and the bread is crisp. Perfect with fu:di Summer Cheese Coleslaw Salad, fu:di Peruvian Slaw or a simple green salad. 


Chef’s Tip 

Make the burger sauce first and let it sit while you cook everything else. The extra time allows the flavours to meld together and gives a much more authentic burger sauce flavour. To reduce the carbs more, skip the caramalised onions.
