Cheeseburger Muffins

These are such a fun little dinner, and honestly, they’re a bit of a winner when you want burger vibes without standing at the stove flipping patties.

You get juicy beef, melty cheese, a little hit of pickle, and that soft brioche base all baked into one handy muffin-sized bite.

They’ve got all the best bits of a cheeseburger packed into one neat little bake.

Press the brioche firmly into the muffin holes so it holds its shape. Tuck the mozzarella right into the middle for that melty centre.

Serve them hot with burger sauce or tomato sauce for dipping.
