These were made in the middle of a St. Louis "Blizzard" so I had a couple of substitutions. I used the broil pan inside rather than the Weber outside & unlike brave KM, I didn't go outside & scrape off ice and snow to get Thyme--instead I used our shop's dried Thyme. Also, I used freeze-dried garlic in place of fresh. I reconstituted it in the olive oil the recipe called for & it worked fine. I did wonder about adding olive oil to a 80/20 beef blend but that plus the Dijon seemed to bind it together. These little sliders were tasty---the thyme, garlic & Dijon gave them good flavor. Ina knows her stuff & I will make them again.

New York Egg Cream
Finding the "Fox's U-Bet" was the most difficult part of this recipe. I tried several local grocers plus made a few calls---no luck, so I ordered it online (around $11 with shipping!). Then Liz ended up finding it right here in St. Louis for less than $4, so Recipe Gals check with her for location or just ask at comments & we'll respond. U-Bet has great chocolate flavor.
Since this doesn't have eggs or cream I'm not sure why it is called "Egg Cream"...must be a New York thing. I used club-soda & stirred with a fork just like Ina suggested. I actually had more foam on top when finished but lost some by the time the picture was taken.
These were great & would I make them again? U-BET!----probably when the grandkids are around. They are easy enough for kids to make & it would be fun.
