Mini Cheeseburgers
From David Lawrence.
Buns:
2 (11-ounce) packages refrigerated crusty French bread dough (Pillsbury)
1 large egg yolk plus 1 tablespoon water, lightly beaten, for egg wash
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Burgers:
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, for pan searing
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons steak sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning (McCormick brand)
1 1/2 pounds ground beef sirloin
6 slices sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into 4 equal squares
Special Sauce (ingredients below)
4 small plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
Green leaf lettuce, torn to fit burgers
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. For Buns, cut each package of bread dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball about the size of a golf ball. The elasticity of the dough makes it a bit of a struggle to keep it round. Place dough rounds on prepared pan and brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in center of a preheated 350-degree oven 22 to 24 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a rack and cool completely. For Burgers, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Whisk together egg yolks, steak sauce and seasoning in a medium bowl and add ground sirloin. Gently combine with your fingertips, being careful not to overwork meat. Using about 2 tablespoons meat mixture for each, carefully roll into meatballs and press between your palms to flatten into a small patty. Pan sear in hot oil until cooked through to desired doneness, about 3 minutes on each side. Place a piece of cheese on each patty and tent loosely with a piece of foil to melt cheese.
To assemble burgers, cut each bun in half crosswise and place a teaspoon-size dollop of Special Sauce on bottom of each. Top with a hamburger patty, tomato slice, a piece of lettuce and bun top. Skewer each mini cheeseburger with a ruffled toothpick to hold together. Serve immediately. Makes 24 mini burgers.
Special Sauce: Combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup ketchup. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.

I think, if you don't want to make them yourself, get the pepperidge farm party rolls. they look just like buns when you separate them and make them into burgers.
