This Month's Recipe: Hamburger Sliders w/ Dijon Mustard Sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix together the beef, parsley, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Do not over handle the beef. Form into 15 mini burgers and set aside.
3. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside. Add the split breads to the prepared baking sheet. Toast the breads lightly, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, coat a grill pan with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the grill to medium. Grill the mini burgers about 4-5 minutes per side, turning once.
5. To assemble: place a mini burger on one piece of the bun or pita bread. Top with an arugula. Add a dollop of sauce. Place remaining bun or pita bread half on top.
