Oct 13 Brie, Apple, and Onion Burgers

Beef, Dairy Free, Dinner, Gluten Free, Keto / Low Carb, Paleo, Party Food, Vegan, Whole30

Brie, apple, and onion are one of our favorite flavor combinations, it is just soooo tasty. I actually started with it for quesadillas and they are messy but oh so worth it. So one night, I had the idea to put it on a burger and a new favorite was born! These again are messy but totally worth it. I like to serve it with some wine and sweet potato fries to really give it that vineyard flavor, I just imagine sitting on a patio in Napa eating and drinking. I have never been to Napa but this gal can dream!

I also love giving alternatives for everyone to get their paws on this goodness:

low carb - use a low carb bread bun or wrap it in a lettuce cup. Swap those apples for mushrooms and it is DELICIOUS!
Whole30 - lettuce wrap and leave out the Brie for some mayonnaise, spiked with a little Dijon.
Vegan - Use a plant-based patty and swap the Brie for vegannaise with a little dijon mixed in.
Gluten Free - use a GF bun!
Dairy free - Swap teh Brie for mayonnaise mixed with a squeeze of Dijon.
Red Meat Free - use a turkey burger patty.

These burgers would be perfect for a casual get together too, Another amazing addition to this burger would be some crispy bacon. And sweet potato fries are so tasty with this, I love the Trader Joes brand, they get super crispy!
