Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dijon-Lemon Mayo by whisking together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. Caramelize the onions by melting butter in a skillet, adding onions, salt, and sugar. Sauté, deglazing with white wine or water for about 20 minutes until golden.
  3. Make the burger mixture by combining ground pork, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried dill, and onion powder. Shape into patties about ¾ inch thick.
  4. Bread the patties by dipping in beaten egg, then pressing into the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Set aside.
  5. Cook the burgers in hot canola oil for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown, topping with cheese in the last minute to melt.
  6. Assemble the burgers with the mayo on the toasted pretzel buns, schnitzel patty, caramelized onions, and dill pickles. Serve warm.
