Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb Ground Beef For variations, try ground turkey or plant-based crumbles.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
For the Buns
  • 12 mini Brioche Buns Gluten-free or lettuce wraps work as substitutes.
For the Cheese
  • 12 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese Swap in pepper jack for a spicy kick.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Mixed Lettuce Leaves Consider arugula or spinach for a twist.
  • 1 cup Quick-Pickled Cucumber Replace with red onion or jalapeños for zing.
For the Garlic Aioli
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise Use vegan mayo for a dairy-free version.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh minced yields the best taste.

Method
 

Assembly Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper, mixing gently until just combined. Form 12 small patties, about ½-inch thick, placing a slight dimple in the center of each.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. Cover and refrigerate the aioli for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Toast the mini brioche buns cut-side down in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown, approximately 30 seconds.
  4. Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes, flipping them once browned. Top with cheese after flipping.
  5. On the bottom half of each bun, spread garlic aioli. Layer lettuce, then a burger patty and quick-pickled cucumber slices. Finish with the top half of the bun.
