MINI BURGERS CALORIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak the toasted bread in lukewarm water and squeeze well. Trim and chop the scallion. Peel the shallots and finely chop. Peel garlic and press through a garlic press.
• Knead together the ground meat, well-squeezed toast, eggs, scallion, shallots, pressed garlic and mustard and season well with paprika, salt and pepper. With moistened hands, shape mixture into 18 small meatballs and place on a baking paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 200°C (approximately 400°F) on the middle rack for about 20 minutes and then remove from oven.
• Rinse the lettuce, trim, and tear into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and trim the radishes and carrots. Slice the radishes and peel the carrots into thin strips. Cut cucumber into slices. Mix the mayonnaise, chile peppers and lemon juice together. Cut the rolls in half and spread with a little mayonnaise mixture. Fill buns with lettuce, cucumbers and meatballs. Serve on a plate with lettuce, radishes and carrots.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7. Lightly grease a baking tray with oil and set aside.
  2. Pop the crackers into a sandwich bag, press out the air and seal. Get the kids to gently bash the crackers with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs, then tip them into a mixing bowl.
  3. Using a box grater, coarsely grate the onion and Parmesan, then add them both to the bowl. Pick, finely chop and add the parsley leaves.
  4. In a bowl, the kids can beat the egg with a fork, then add it to the main mixture. Tip in the mince, and season with black pepper. With clean hands, get the kids to mix everything together.
  5. Divide the mixture in half, divide each half into 4 equal-sized pieces then, with wet hands, pat and roll each piece into a burger, roughly 2cm thick.
  6. Place the burgers onto the oiled tray, pat with a little oil, cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, help the kids make their toppings. If you’re using bacon, pop it under the grill for 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy, and drain on kitchen paper.
  8. Discard the outer leaves of the lettuce, then pick, wash and dry the inner leaves. Slice the tomatoes and finely slice the onion.
  9. Cut around the avocado lengthways. Kids can hold the avocado and twist to pull the halves apart. Remove the stone and scoop the flesh away from the skin, then cut into slices.
  10. Under supervision, little ones can grate the Cheddar with a box grater.
  11. Have the kids use oven gloves to place the tray of burgers in the oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  12. Help the kids cut the burger buns in half, pop them on a baking tray and warm in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
  13. Use a fish slice to place each burger onto a bun half. Add your toppings, finish with a bun half, and serve with salad or potato wedges.
