Wolfgang Puck's Cheeseburger Bites
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon capers, drained and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 small slices (0.5 oz) Cheddar cheese, quartered
  • 12 mini brioche buns, split
  • 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 3 cornichons (tart pickled gherkin cucumbers), sliced
Instructions
1
Heat up a grill or grill pan to a medium-high temperature (around 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit or 200-230 degrees Celsius).
2
Mix together mayonnaise, chopped red onion, ketchup, vinegar, capers, parsley, thyme, and sugar in a small bowl until everything is well blended.
3
Place the beef in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Use your hands to just combine the ingredients; don't overmix. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs by hand and place them on a baking sheet. Gently flatten the tops of each meatball.
4
Brush the meatballs with oil and sprinkle both sides with a bit more salt and pepper. Place the patties on the oiled grill grates; cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Flip them over and top each with a piece of cheese. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked through.
5
While the burgers are cooking, place the buns on the grill grates, cut-side down. Cook for about 1 minute, or until they're toasted.
6
Assemble the burgers by spooning a small amount of sauce onto the bottom bun. Add a cooked patty, some shredded lettuce, tomato slices, cornichon slices, and top it off with the bun.
