Ingredients

For the Meat

  • 1 lb Ground beef 80/20 fat content
  • ½ teaspoon Sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 6 Brioche slider buns

For the Stuffing

  • ½ cup Sundried tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • ¼ cup Fresh basil chopped
  • 1 cup Goat cheese room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper

For the Basil Mayo

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Basil pesto
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

To Serve

  • Baby arugula
  • Red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare the stuffing: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the ingredients for the burger stuffing, and set aside.
  • Prepare the meat: In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Mix enough to combine the spices, but do not over mix.
  • Prepare the sliders: Divide the ground beef mixture into 12 equal parts. Roll each section into a ball, and flatten the balls into patties that are approximately ½ cm thick. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the goat cheese filling on 6 of the patties, and top with the remaining 6 patties. Seal the edges of the burgers together by pressing down, and indent the middle of the burger with your finger, to keep the sliders flat while cooking.
  • Cook the sliders: Grill for 3-4 minutes per side on a barbecue, or cook in a cast iron skillet for 4 minutes on each side.
  • Mix the Spread: Mix together the ingredients for the basil mayonnaise in a mixing bowl.
  • To Serve: Toast the brioche slider buns, and liberally spread basil mayonnaise on the top buns. Place some arugula on the bottom bun, add the burger, and top with thinly sliced red onion.
