Prepare the grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

In the last minute of cooking, place Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

Toast brioche buns on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

In a separate pan, cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

Sauté onions in the same pan until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Spread mustard on the bottom half of each bun.

Layer cooked patties on the mustard-covered buns.

Top each patty with sauerkraut, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon.

Add pickles and fresh parsley for garnish.

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
