Honey-Glazed Appalachian Smash

Method

1. Start by prepping your brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the smash, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the cheddar and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
