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

Stir the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the mushroom mixture until golden, about 8 minutes. Pour the red wine into the skillet and simmer until the liquid evaporates, stirring slowly, about 2 minutes. Spread the mushroom mixture onto a plate to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.

Crumble the ground chuck into a bowl. Pour the truffle oil over the beef and gently massage it into the beef until evenly distributed. Fold the mushroom mixture into the beef mixture until combined. Form 6 patties approximately the size of baguette slices.

Grill the patties until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Toast the baguette slices until crisp and golden. Place each patty on a baguette slice, top with 2 shaved slices of Parmesan cheese and about 1/4 cup arugula, and cover with a second baguette slice. Secure each slider with a toothpick.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
