Mini Cheeseburger Sliders 🍔
School holidays = I'm hungry every 20 minutes
Full recipe below in Arabic and English
Ingredients:
Mini slider buns (pre-bought)
300g minced beef
1 onion, finely diced
Gherkins, finely diced (as much as you like)
Olive oil
Salt
Cracked black pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Tomato sauce (ketchup)
Mustard (optional)
Burger cheese slices
Method:
Slice your slider buns in half and set aside.
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook the minced beef until browned.
Season with salt, cracked black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Add the finely diced onion and gherkins, toss through just to soften (no need to colour).
Add a squeeze of tomato sauce and mustard (optional) — this keeps the meat juicy and flavourful.
In a tray, place the bottom half of the buns.
Layer with burger cheese first (this stops the bread from going soggy).
Add the mince mixture evenly over the top.
Add a little more sauce if you like, then another layer of cheese.
Place the top buns on, cover with foil.
Bake until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly crispy.
Serve immediately and enjoy:
عيش سلايدرز صغير (جاهز)
٣٠٠ جرام لحمة مفرومة
بصلة واحدة متقطعة صغير جدًا
خيار مخلل متقطع صغير (على حسب الرغبة)
شوية زيت زيتون
ملح
رشة فلفل أسود
رشة بصل بودرة
رشة ثوم بودرة
كاتشب
مستردة (اختياري)
شرائح جبنة برجر
الطريقة:
اقطعي عيش السلايدرز نصين وحطيه على جنب.
في طاسة على النار، حطي شوية زيت زيتون ونزّلي اللحمة المفرومة.
سيبيها تستوي كويس، وبعدين تبّليها بملح، فلفل أسود، بصل بودرة وثوم بودرة.
ضيفي البصل المتقطع والمخلل وقلّبيهم مع اللحمة بس لحد ما يطروا (من غير ما ياخدوا لون).
حطي شوية كاتشب ومستردة (اختياري) وقلّبي — ده بيساعد يخلي اللحمة طرية وطعمها حلو.
في صينية، رصّي نص العيش من تحت.
حطي طبقة جبنة الأول (علشان العيش ما يطرّيش).
بعد كده وزّعي اللحمة فوق الجبنة.
ممكن تزودي شوية كاتشب ومستردة تاني لو حابة، وبعدين طبقة جبنة كمان.
حطي نص العيش اللي فوق، وغطّي الصينية بورق فويل.
دخّليها الفرن لحد ما الجبنة تسيح والعيش ياخد لون خفيف من فوق.
قدّميها سخنة وبالهنا والشفا 😍

Golden, crispy, syrup-kissed kataifi pistachio ci**rs 🌿✨ the perfect little bite of crunch, sweetness, and nostalgia.
Recipe:
You can use any filling of your choice — I had some leftover pistachio and kataifi, so that’s what I used.
Cut your filo pastry into four so you have smaller rectangular strips. Place one rectangle in front of you and lightly drizzle with ghee.
Lay a chopstick along the edge of the filo, fold the top flap over it, then add your filling. Roll the pastry over the chopstick, then gently scrunch the sides toward the centre to create that signature shape. Carefully slide the chopstick out.
Place each cigar into a lined baking tray.
Bake at 180°C until golden and crispy on both top and bottom.
Sugar syrup:
In a saucepan, combine:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a cinnamon stick, and a strip of lemon peel. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer and reduce until slightly thickened (before it starts to colour).
Once the ci**rs are baked, pour over a thin layer of the hot syrup while they’re still hot — this keeps them light and not overly sweet.
Allow them to cool completely… then enjoy every crispy, syrupy bite 🤍
