Mozzarella On Burger Recipes

MOZZARELLA BEEF BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Mix meat, cheese, bread crumbs and 2 Tbsp. of the barbecue sauce. Shape into four patties.
• Place patties on grill; cover grill with lid. Grill 4 to 6 min. on each side or until burgers are cooked through (160°F), brushing with remaining 2 Tbsp. barbecue sauce during last 2 min. of grilling time.
• Fill buns with burgers and lettuce, if desired.

CAPRESE BURGER

Steps:

• Whisk the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over tomato slices to marinate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix ground beef, tomato paste, basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Form beef mixture into 4 equal patties.
• Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Top each burger with mozzarella cheese; allow to melt. Serve on hamburger buns with marinated tomato slices.

GOURMET ONION, MUSHROOM, AND MOZZARELLA BURGER ON RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs on a plate. Combine remaining bread crumbs with ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 of the garlic in a large bowl. Mix well and form into 4 large balls. Place each ball in the bread crumbs and press to flatten and coat burgers on each side.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and remaining garlic and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add butter and mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Add red wine and cook for 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in another skillet over medium-low heat. Add burgers, cover, and cook until bread crumbs on the bottom have turned a nice brown color, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, add a slice of mozzarella cheese to each burger, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Place each burger on a slice of rye bread, cover with mushroom-onion mixture, and top with remaining bread.

BASIL MOZZARELLA BURGERS

Steps:

• To make relish: add the relish ingredients to the container of a food processor; cover and pulse until coarsely chopped; cover and chill for 2-3 hours.

• Add the ketchup, horseradish, mustard, salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix.
• Add the ground beef; stir to mix.

• Grill patties over medium heat for 7 minutes; turn and grill 7-11 more minutes or until done.
• Top patties with a slice of cheese during the last 2 minutes or grilling time.
• Serve patties on toasted whole wheat buns with red sweet pepper relish and fresh basil leaves.

MARINATED MOZZARELLA, OLIVES AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Put cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the olives and toss.
• In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Pour mixture over tomatoes and olives. Toss well to coat and let sit for at least 10 minutes and up to an hour.
