The Mini Boursin Burger

The slider is the inevitable snack to be served at a summer pool party when the food keeps rolling out of the kitchen all day long.  This is always a crowd pleaser.

• Put the balls of meat on the griddle and take the spatulau to flatten them into mini burgers (this is called a smash burger.)  Let the burger cook for 2-3 minutes and flip.  Immediately put a dollop of boursin cheese on each burger, then cook for another two minutes
