Grilled Avocado Sliders

Small Bites, Unhurried Pleasure

There's something quietly satisfying about a slider — the way it fits in your hand, the way it invites you to pause mid-conversation and just eat. This version leans into the generous, creamy character of ripe avocado, warmed by the grill until it softens just enough. The seasoning does its work gently, threading heat and depth through every layer. It's the kind of thing you make for a gathering and find yourself eating in the kitchen before anyone else arrives.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/3 cups minced sweet onion
• 4 teaspoons Alessi Avocado Toast Seasoning, (divided)
• 10 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 10 small rolls, sliced in half
• 2 teaspoons Alessi Olive Oil
• 2 medium avocados, ripe but firm

Instructions

1. Place ground beef in a large bowl.
2. Add onion and 1 TBSP Alessi Avocado Toast seasoning; mix gently.
3. Shape beef mixture into 10 even slider patties.
4. Place patties on grill rack, cover, and cook about 4 minutes.
5. Turn and continue cooking until cooked to desired doneness.
6. When almost finished, top with cheese and let melt.
7. While patties cook, cut avocados in half and remove pit; use a large spoon to gently scoop out each half.
8. Brush cut sides of avocado with 1 tsp Alessi Olive Oil; sprinkle each half with 1/4 teaspoon Alessi Avocado Toast Seasoning.
9. During final minutes of cooking, grill avocado halves until charred, about 2 to 3 minutes per side; remove from grill and set aside.
10. Brush the inside of the rolls with remaining olive oil and toast on the grill for about 2 minutes.
11. To serve, cut each avocado half into 3 even slices (there will be extra); mash one piece down in the center of each roll.
12. Layer a cooked patty inside each roll and serve hot.
