Prep time: 15 minutes - Cook time: 15 minutes

- 1/2 cup soft unripened Goat's Milk Cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup PC Memories of Tuscany Balsamic Vinegar & Fig Sauce
Preheat barbecue to medium. Soak four bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Carefully run skewer horizontally through each onion slice; brush onions with oil. Place onions and frozen burgers on greased grill; cook uncovered for 12 to 14 minutes, turning once. Remove skewers from onions; set onions and burgers aside.
Place buns cut side down on greased grill; heat for 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Place each bun on a dinner plate. Place some greens on each bottom bun and top with a burger. Hold an onion skewer over each burger and draw out the skewer; top with goat cheese, drizzle with Memories sauce and add top bun. Serve immediately.
