Ingredients
¾lbground beef
pinch of kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4tbspextra-virgin olive oil
6ozaged cheddar cheese
6slicebrioche bread
Rémoulade Sauce
arugula leaves
6cherry tomatoes
3cornichons
Preparation
Preheat a grill or grill pan. Put ground beef in a bowl and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together with hands to combine.
Take a small amount (about 2 tablespoons) of the ground beef and make meatballs. Flatten the top slightly and put the mini burger patties on a side plate. Drizzle burgers with oil and season the tops with salt and pepper.
Turn burgers over and season the other side. Place burgers on the hot grill. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn them over with tongs. Put about half ounce aged cheddar cheese on top of the burgers, allowing it to melt.
While that’s cooking, put brioche circles on the grill. Let them toast slightly on both sides, about 2 minutes total time.
To put burgers together: Put toasted brioche circles on a platter. Top each with a small spoonful of rémoulade Sauce. Put burger on top (cheese side up), followed by an arugula leaf, a slice of tomato, and a slice of cornichon.
