Starters/Snacks Beef, Bacon and Blue Cheese Sliders
Makes : 8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 8-10 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g lean beef mince
- 80g blue stilton, grated
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices smoked streaky bacon
- 2 soft baguettes (half baguette size), cut into 4 pieces each
- 4 tsp tomato chutney
- 20g rocket
- ½ red onion, cut into thin rings
Method
-
Put the beef mince into a large bowl, add the grated stilton then season with salt and black pepper. Mix really well with your hands, squishing the mixture together until evenly mixed.
-
Divide into 8 and form each portion into a small ball. Place onto board, and flatten gently until each ball is about 8cm wide and 1.5cm high.
-
Heat a griddle pan until hot, add the burgers (in two batches if necessary) and grill on each side for 2 minutes. Remove, set onto a plate and cover with foil to rest while you grill the bacon. Place all the bacon onto the griddle and grill for 1½ minutes on each side.
-
While the burgers and bacon are cooking, prepare the buns. Cut each piece of bun in half so you have a top and bottom. Spread the bottom half with half a teaspoon of tomato chutney then scatter some rocket over the top, finishing with a few pieces of red onion.
-
Top with the cooked burger, then cut the bacon in half and place both pieces on top. Cover with the lid of the baguette and secure with a long cocktail stick. Serve straightaway.
