Instructions

Caramelise the onions

  • In a pan, heat olive oil and cook the sliced onions on low heat for 15–20 mins until soft, golden, and sweet.

Make the sliders

  • Season the beef mince with salt & pepper, shape into 10 mini patties, and pan-fry or grill for 3–4 mins per side until cooked through.

Garlic butter

  • Melt butter with minced garlic, gently simmer for 1 min.

Assemble

  • Split each brioche bun, brush with garlic butter, and lightly toast. Spread mayo and mustard, add patties, cheese, caramelised onions, and top with the golden brioche lid.

Finish & serve

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Buns: St Pierre Mini Brioche Buns are naturally rich and buttery – lightly toasting them with garlic butter makes them extra indulgent.
Meat Swap: You can replace beef with chicken, turkey, or even plant-based mince for a lighter or vegetarian-friendly version.
Cheese Options: Cheddar, gouda, or Swiss cheese melt beautifully – pick your favourite!
Caramelised Onions: Low and slow cooking is key – resist the urge to rush for the best sweet, golden finish.
Make Ahead: Patties and caramelised onions can be prepped the day before; just reheat and assemble when ready to serve.
Serving Size: Great for party platters, appetisers, or fun family dinners – they disappear fast!
Pairings: Delicious with sweet potato fries, rocket salad, or a side of coleslaw.
Chef’s Tips
Perfectly Juicy Patties: Gently shape the mince into patties without overworking – this keeps them tender. Press a small dent in the centre of each patty before cooking to prevent them puffing up.
Extra Flavour Boost: Mix a dash of Worcestershire sauce or smoked paprika into your mince for a richer depth of flavour.
Crisp Finish: After caramelising, deglaze the onion pan with a splash of balsamic vinegar or red wine for tangy-sweet onions.
Golden Brioche: Brush the cut sides of the buns with garlic butter before toasting for a glossy, golden crunch.
Keep it Warm: If making a batch, keep sliders warm in a low oven (around 100°C) before serving so the cheese stays melty.
Plating Tip: Serve on a wooden board with cocktail sticks to hold them together – practical and Instagram-worthy!
