Sliders With Caramelized Onions, Tonkatsu Sauce, and Quail Egg are a fun and delicious twist on traditional sliders. These small burgers are packed with flavor, thanks to the tangy-sweet tonkatsu sauce, caramelized onions, and fried quail eggs. The brioche rolls add a buttery richness to the dish, making it feel like a special treat. These sliders are perfect for a party or game day snack, or as an appetizer before a larger meal. They are easy to make and can be customized with different toppings, such as cheese or bacon, for added flavor.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix ground chuck, ground sirloin, and kosher salt until well combined. Shape the mixture into small, burger-shaped patties.
2.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
3.In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sake, grated ginger, finely minced garlic, sugar, and mirin. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly.
4.In a separate skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the slivered onions and sprinkle with sugar or mirin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
5.In a small saucepan, lightly fry the quail eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6.To assemble the sliders, slice open the brioche rolls and spread a spoonful of the tonkatsu sauce on each side. Add a burger patty, a spoonful of caramelized onions, and a fried quail egg to each slider. Serve immediately.
