Cabinet Hinge [View all]

I'm building a cabinet, and I have two doors that are fully inset. I would use a surface mounted hinge except that the edge of the cabinet is too thin (.5in) to mount a hinge on. Maybe there's one that can go around a corner? I can mount a hinge on the inside if need be, but I don't know how to do that with an inset door. Pretty sure it has to be an outside hinge. I was thinking maybe just install a tee hinge that has one side mounted on the side wall and the other side mounted on the door. It wouldn't open quite the same way but...as long as it opens

Here's a picture of the inside.
