Ingredients
- 10 mini brioche slider buns (I used St Pierre)
- 10 meatballs
- 50g garlic butter, melted
- Lettuce
- 20 pimento stuffed olives
- 5 sliced gherkins, halved
- 4 slices of burger cheese
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Start by preheating your pan over a medium high heat. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook in two batches.
- Lower your meatballs into the hot pan and press down with the back of a glass into mini burgers. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Whilst your meatballs are cooking prepare the fillings by skewering the olives on cocktail sticks, and cutting each strip of cheese into 3 equal pieces, then cutting out 'teeth'
- Halve your brioche buns and brush each sliced surface with melted garlic butter. Lay the base of each bun on a clean worktop, top with the lettuce, then the meatball burger, followed by the gherkin 'tongue', the cheese 'teeth', the ketchup, then the lid of the brioche bun. Stick two of your olive 'eyes' in the top of each one and serve immediately.
