  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Stir mushrooms, shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the mushroom mixture until golden, about 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour red wine into the skillet; simmer, stirring slowly, until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Spread the mushroom mixture onto a plate to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Crumble ground chuck into a bowl; pour truffle oil over the beef and gently massage the oil into the beef until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Fold the mushroom mixture into the beef mixture until combined; form 6 patties approximately the size of baguette slices.

  8. 8

    Grill the patties until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

  9. 9

    Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center to ensure it reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  10. 10

    Toast baguette slices until crisp and golden.

  11. 11

    Place each patty on a baguette slice, top with 2 shaved slices of Parmesan cheese, about 1/4 cup arugula, and a second baguette slice.

  12. 12

    Secure each slider with a toothpick.
