  3. Melt butter in small saucepan set over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms and garlic until starting to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chives.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high; grease grate well. Grill burger, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Top with cheese slices; cook until cheese melts. Meanwhile, grill bun until lightly toasted.

Tips

  • Add a splash of brandy to the mushrooms as they are sautéed.
  • For caramelized onions: Use prepared onions, or melt 2 tbsp butter in a large heavy-bottom pan set over medium heat; cook 2 large sliced onions, and a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar until slightly softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, until onions are a dark golden brown colour and caramelized. Let cool; cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
