🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Mozzarella cheese, slices
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 1 cup Arugula
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, basil leaves, and garlic clove.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about 1 inch thick. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

4. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

5. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of mozzarella cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

6. While the burgers cook, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or toaster.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice to make a tangy spread.

8. Assemble the burgers: spread the lemon mayo on the bottom half of each bun, add a handful of arugula, place the cooked patties on top, and finish with the top bun.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Tuscan Burgers!
