Bruschetta Burger Recipe
Comfort food doesn't get much more comforting than this: it's our recipe for a Bruschetta Burger, stuffed with Mozzarella!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, cut into 6 slices
- 1 loaf italian bread
- tablespoon olive oil, to drizzle
- 1 clove garlic, cut in half
- 1 8-ounce jar bruschetta mix
Directions
- In large bowl combine ground beef, parmesan cheese, basil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients, using your hands.
- Divide the meat into 6 equal portions. With each portion divide it again in half when forming the burgers.
- Flatten out one half, place a slice of fresh mozzarella on top and top with remaining half of meat, forming into a round flat patty, pinching the sides closed, so the cheese isn't exposed.
- Repeat with all the meat, making 6 burgers. Heat grill to medium high heat and cook burgers for 5-6 minutes on each side.
- While burgers are cooking slice the loaf of Italian bread into 3/4 inch slices. Drizzle with olive oil. Place bread on a baking sheet and place under the broiler, or on the grill for 1-2 minutes until toasted. (If you use the broiler watch closely so bread doesn't burn!)
- As soon as the bread is toasted, remove it from the broiler or grill and rub with the inside of remaining clove of garlic that has been halved.
- When burgers are done, place on non-toasted side of bread, top with a generous portion of Bruschetta and the other slice of toast. Serve immediately.
Notes
I use 80/20 beef when making burgers.
