Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 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
Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, basil leaves, and garlic clove.
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.
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.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
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.
While the burgers cook, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or toaster.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice to make a tangy spread.
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Tuscan Burgers!
