Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 4 Ciabatta rolls
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Tomatoes
- 12 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 tsp Minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your ciabatta rolls since they will shrink during cooking.
Brush each ciabatta roll lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the basil leaves. Combine in a small bowl with balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon olive oil, minced garlic, and finely diced red onion. Stir to mix and set aside for the bruschetta topping.
Place the beef patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness (medium is recommended).
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of fresh mozzarella on each patty to melt slightly.
While the patties are cooking, place the ciabatta rolls cut-side down on the grill to toast lightly for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
To assemble the burgers, place each grilled patty on the bottom half of a toasted ciabatta roll.
Top the burger with a generous spoonful of the bruschetta mixture.
Place the top half of the roll over the bruschetta topping, pressing down gently.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as salad or fries.
