These burgers are really luxe because inside the beef and pancetta patty, they’re oozing with blue cheese. If you’re not a blue cheese fan, use goat cheese or cream cheese instead. To get the cheese inside, just roll the meat into a ball. Then create a little indention for the cheese. Next, just fold the meat over the cheese and hide it in there.
As if that wasn’t enough goodness, these sliders are topped with balsamic fig marmalade made with fresh figs, onions and cherry peppers, which are sweet, mild pimento peppers about the size of a cherry tomato.
