Instructions

1. Combine beef mince, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix ingredients together with clean hands until thoroughly mixed. Divide meat equally into 10 round balls, 50g/2oz per portion. Flatten each ball to form a patty. Place patties on a tray and cover with clingfilm, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
2. Preheat grill to highest setting. Meanwhile, cut mini burger buns in half. Spread about a teaspoon of tomato sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then top each one with a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato.
3. To cook the slider patties, lightly drizzle an oven tray with olive oil. Arrange beef patties on oven tray and brush the tops of each with more olive oil. Cook patties under the grill for 5 minutes. Flip patties over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven.
4. Place a patty on each prepared slider bun. Arrange 2 quarters of the cheese on top. Place mini burger bun tops on each and secure with a toothpick.
5. Recipe easily doubled or tripled. Patties can be prepared ahead of time and kept chilled in the fridge overnight. Cook just before intending to serve.
