Creamy, smoky, salty, and sweet come to mind when biting into this treat! The sweetness of the caramelized onions against the creaminess of the avocados, with the saltiness of the Brie, can be a mouthgasm on itself. This burger is full of monounsaturated fat (so-called good fat), Vitamins K & B, Fiber, and Potassium!
