Mini Burgers
Homemade mini burgers are a great option for both dinner and a snack. They’re always a hit at parties and are the first to disappear. You can prepare them a little differently each time by experimenting with toppings. You’ll delight both younger and older guests.
They might not be typical finger food, as you won’t eat them in one bite, but your friends will definitely be more likely to reach for this smaller version of the burger, convenient to eat in a few bites, than the XXL version at a party. This way, they’ll be able to try more snacks. Everyone will have a chance to eat something more substantial than chips, but you won’t have to buy kilograms of meat. Everyone will eat something warm, but they’ll still have room for a salad or cake, which someone probably brought with them. And when they cool, you won’t have to constantly reheat them, as they can be eaten both hot and cold.

- Finally, add a little oil to the pan and fry the burgers, flattening them well. A wide spatula, pot or burger smasher will be useful for this. After flipping the burgers, season them with salt and top with slices of cheese. Once the cheese has melted, transfer the burgers on a plate.oil, salt
