Wolfgang Puck's Cheeseburger Sliders

Delicious mini cheeseburgers perfect for parties, made with juicy beef and topped with a homemade sauce.

Ingredients

  • mayonnaise (0.5 cup)
  • red onion (1 tablespoon)
  • ketchup (1 tablespoon)
  • sherry vinegar (1 tablespoon)
  • capers (1 teaspoon)
  • parsley (1 teaspoon)
  • thyme (0.5 teaspoon)
  • white sugar (0.125 teaspoon)
  • ground beef (1 pound)
  • salt (1.5 teaspoons)
  • ground black pepper (1 teaspoon)
  • olive oil (4 tablespoons)
  • Cheddar cheese (3 slices)
  • brioche buns (12 )
  • iceberg lettuce (1 small head)
  • cherry tomatoes (6 )
  • cornichons (3 )

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees F or 200 to 230 degrees C).
  2. Stir together mayonnaise, red onion, ketchup, vinegar, capers, parsley, thyme, and sugar in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
  3. Place beef in a large bowl. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix by hand until just combined. Make 12 meatballs by rolling beef mixture between your palms; transfer to a baking sheet. Flatten tops slightly. Drizzle with oil and season both sides with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Arrange patties on oiled grates; grill, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Flip, then top each with 1 piece cheese. Grill, uncovered, until cheese is melted and beef is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, put buns, cut-sides down, on the grate; grill until toasted, about 1 minute.
  5. Top bun bottoms with a small spoonful of reserved sauce. Add a patty, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, cornichon slices, and bun tops.
