Wagyu cheeseburger balls with dipping sauce

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC and soak 12 cocktail sticks in water for 10 minutes. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.

Step 2

Poke a cocktail stick through each meatball and flatten the meat slightly like a burger. Bake on the lined tray for 12-15 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through. Drain off any excess oil.

Step 3

Cut each cheese slice into 4 squares, then carefully place a gherkin slice and a square of cheese on top of each burger and bake for 3 minutes, until cooked through and the cheese is melting. Move to a platter and garnish with the onion and dill. Serve with burger sauce or mayonnaise (or both), for dipping.
