Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
2. In a medium saute pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, only stirring a few times until soft and starting to brown. Turn heat back down to medium and add garlic + a pinch of kosher salt. Cook 1-2 minutes more and remove mushrooms from heat.
3. In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper and mushrooms. Stir just to combine, taking care not to over mix.
4. Divide beef mixture into 10 even sliders. Make a dent in the middle and place a piece of cheddar cheese. Wrap the burger around the cheese so it’s covered.
5. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and sear burgers on each side for 1-2 minutes just until brown. Remove from pan and place on a plate to completely cool before you wrap them in puff pastry.
6. You’ll use one 1 1/2 sheets of the puff pastry. Cut each sheet into 6 squares and wrap each burger, pulling the puff pastry to that the burger is totally covered.
7. Place seem side down on a lined baking sheet and if desired, use an egg wash to brush the top and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
8. Cook for 20 minutes until puff pastry is brown. Let cool 5 minutes before digging in!
