Mini burgers with beef patties are the embodiment of classic American fast food in a compact format. Their history is linked to traditional burgers that emerged in the USA in the early 20th century and quickly became a symbol of convenient and tasty food. In miniature form, they are perfect for parties, picnics, and family gatherings. Tender, juicy beef patties grilled to a delicious crust combine with soft buns, fresh vegetables, and aromatic sauces. Each bite offers a harmony of textures — crispy lettuce, tangy onion, refreshing cucumber, and rich meat flavor. They can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with a side of fresh vegetables. Mini burgers will be a bright highlight on any table, impressing guests with their rich taste and convenient format.
1
We cut the buns in half.
- Hamburger bun: 2 pieces
2
We cut the vegetables: tomatoes and onions into circles, cucumbers into thin slices, and salad leaves can be cut into strips or left whole.
- Tomatoes: 1 piece
- Red onion: 1 piece
- Pickles: 1 piece
- Iceberg lettuce: 1 stem

Next, we prepare the minced meat. Add salt and pepper to taste and finely chopped onion. Mix and form balls. I have small burger buns, so I make the balls to match the size of the buns.
- Ground beef: 200 g
- Salt: to taste
- Ground black pepper: to taste
- Onion: 0.5 head

You can fry patties on a grill pan or a regular one. I have a separate electric grill. It works better because it has a press on top, preventing the patty from puffing up and deforming.

Preheat the grill to 200 degrees, brush the buns (inner sides) with olive oil and place them on the grill until slightly browned.

Then we take our dough balls and flatten them into a round shape with our palms, place them on the grill, and press them down. After 6 minutes, we can flip them for a 'nice grill pattern' and cook for another 6 minutes.
