Steps:
- Divide the onions into 4 separate mounds on a rimmed baking sheet. Form the beef into 4 lightly packed balls. Place the beef balls on top of the onion mounds and flatten the beef firmly using your palm, so that the onion adheres to the beef. The patties should measure 4-inches in diameter. Season the beef generously with salt and black pepper. Melt the butter with the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Using a large spatula, transfer the patties to the skillet, onion side down. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the onions turn a deep golden brown and begin to crisp around the edges. Flip the burgers, then increase the heat to high and cook until well-browned on the second side, about 2 minutes. Add 1 or 2 slices of cheese to each burger and allow to melt. Toast the buns in the pan juices or smear them with butter and toast them in a preheated clean pan, preheated to medium heat. Add mayo, mustard, and pickles to the top buns, then place each burger on a bottom buns. Serve immediately.

- Slice the cucumbers evenly so that they cook evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer to get perfectly even slices.
- Soak the cucumber slices in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to tenderize the cucumbers and make them more flavorful.
- Use a seasoned breading mix for the cucumbers. This will help to add flavor and texture to the fried cucumbers.
- Fry the cucumbers in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcooking the cucumbers, as they can become tough and chewy.
