Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the produce. Thinly slice the red onion, slice the tomato into rounds and split the brioche buns. Shape the ground beef into 2 equal patties, making them slightly wider than the buns.
2. Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Roast until lightly crisped, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the sherry vinegar and sugar, then simmer until the liquid is almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
4. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the cheddar into 2 even piles on the parchment. Bake until melted in the center and crisp around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Heat another drizzle of olive oil in the same large pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef patties all over with salt and pepper. Cook until done to your liking, 3 to 6 minutes per side. While the burgers cook, carefully lift the cheddar crisps from the parchment. Discard the parchment, place the split buns on the baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Build each burger with a toasted bun, beef patty, onion jam, tomato slices, ketchup and a cheddar crisp. Serve with the roasted broccoli alongside.
