Steps in the recipe

• Step 1

  Prepare the mini-buns. Pour the milk in a mixing bowl and dilute the yeast in it. Add the butter and the beaten egg.

• Step 2

  In a stand mixer, mix the flour, sugar and salt together. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl of the mixer and knead for 5 minutes.

• Step 3

  Cover with plastic wrap and leave the dough to rise for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a warm place (the dough should double in volume).

• Step 4

  On a floured countertop, knock back the dough to get rid of the air and divide it into 16 small pieces.

• Step 5

  Bring the edges towards the center to knock pack each piece of dough. Shape into balls and place them on a baking pan covered with parchment paper. Flatten the balls with the palm of your hand. Cover with a dish towel and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.

• Step 6

  Preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush the balls with the egg yolk diluted with a little water. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and seeds and bake for 10 minutes.

• Step 7

  Prepare the patties. Make 16 small meatballs and flatten them. In a skillet, heat the butter until frothy on high heat and cook the patties for 30 seconds on each side. Season with salt and pepper and place a slice of Soignon goat cheese on each small patty.

• Step 8

  Cook the slices of bacon in a skillet and cut them into 3 pieces.

• Step 9

  To assemble the burgers, cut the buns in half and spread ketchup on both pieces. Add some spinach to the bottom half of the bun, followed by a patty with goat cheese, a slice of tomato, a bit of bacon and lastly, a thin slice of zucchini. Put on the top of the bun and secure with a toothpick.
