Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine 0.5 cups of mayonnaise and 2 minced garlic cloves. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, season 1 pound of ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and gently shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on a dry griddle or skillet until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of the garlic mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the burger patty, and a heap of caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ultimate Onion Burger!
