To make the buns, cut the brioche into about 1/3 to 1/2-inch thick slices and then use a small glass to cut out as many circles as you can. Put the buns into an airtight container so that they keep their moisture until the next day.

Now, the day of the party you need to get to grilling. First, preheat the grill. Then, combine the lamb, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, 1 tsp salt, 20 grinds of fresh black pepper, and the 2 cloves of pressed garlic all together in a mixing bowl and work together.

Next, take a small ice cream scooper and scoop the mixture into little balls (1-1 1/2 inches large) and place on a parchment-lined baking pan. Flatten the burgers to 1/2-inch thickness and a couple inches in diameter. The grill should be hot, so lay the burgers down and cook about 2-3 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. The cook time will vary depending upon your grill.

When finished, place the mini burgers on top of the cut brioche. Add a little piece of lettuce and small tomato slice. Top off with a dollop of the lemon yogurt sauce and serve.

As you can see, delicious and decadent appetizers don't have to take hours to prepare to get a fantastic result. Plus, by making most of your components ahead of time you may actually get to enjoy your gathering by spending time with your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
