Feed Your Body Friday: Cheeseburger Bites
Welcome to a particularly delicious Feed Your Body Friday!
It’s Friday, so this means that the weekend is here. The weekend is a good time to recharge and relax and is often synonymous with getting together for cool and casual evenings with friends.
Today, I propose a recipe that is delicious and also super cute: the mini cheeseburgers! For a buffet, a BBQ with friends or an entree, minis burgers are really a favorite, especially for children. They are so festive and representative of the summer kitchen! Whip up a batch of these and skip heading to that expensive tapas bar for an evening of fun with friends and family in the comfort of your own home.
Another great thing about these cheeseburger bites is that they are a lighter version of the classic recipe, but retains all the assets: pleasure, freshness, flavor, and visual appeal. And, as everyone knows, mini versions of food are even more irresistible! Just try not to eat them all at once!

Although it may be tempting, don’t make these cheeseburger bites too big. They are meant to be super rich, especially if you add other ingredients and garnishes on them.
These little cheeseburger bites make up for their size with a seriously huge flavour-blast. You will see, these little things are so good! Nobody will resist them and they will be eaten as soon as you serve them!
