Mini Burgers
Mini Burger Bar
A mini burger bar is a fun way to let guests customize their burgers, and try a few different tastes. This is great for a summer picnic, a birthday party, or watching a sports game. I like to have at least 3 different cheeses, a good variety of toppings (caramelized onions are always a crown pleaser), and of course plenty of condiments. Serve with potato salad, coleslaw, chips or veggie sticks.

Serving Cheese
My number one rule when serving cheese is to let it come to room temperature before serving. The cheese will have its fullest flavor at room temperature. Even if I’m the only one eating I try to do this. If you are serving a soft cheese and would like nice slices for crackers or a sandwich, slice it when you just pull it out of the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature. Otherwise, soft gooey cheeses like Brie can be spread when at room temperature, which works just as well.
