How will you prepare it?
Preheat BBQ to approx. 200°C. If using a plancha, let it get very hot.
Butter the sugar bread slices on both sides.
Toast on the plancha until golden brown and the sugar is lightly caramelized.
Grill the burgers until medium-well or fully cooked through, so they are piping hot in the center.
At the end, add the cheese mix so it melts beautifully.
Spread spicy mayo on the toasted sugar bread.
Place the burger with melted cheese on top.
Top with pickled onions and cover with the second slice of bread.
Cut into quarters for mini sliders - ideal for brunch or as a snack.
