CAPRESE SUNSET BURGER
-
25' minutes
Ingredients
- Beef burger
- Mayo
- Arugula
- Mozzarella cheese
- Cherry tomato
- Pesto sauce
Tips
1. Prep the Brioche Buns
Lightly toast the brioche buns in a skillet or toaster.
While warm, rub the cut side with a halved garlic clove for subtle, aromatic flavor.
Set aside.
2. Cook the Beef Burger
Season your beef patty with salt and pepper if not pre-seasoned.
Cook in a skillet or on a grill until desired doneness.
Add the mozzarella during the last minute of cooking so it melts gently.
3. Prep the Fresh Toppings
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Toss the arugula with a spoonful of mayo to create a creamy, peppery spread (or simply layer them separately if you prefer).
Warm your pesto slightly to make spreading easier.
4. Assemble the Burger
Spread a light layer of pesto on the bottom bun.
Add the arugula (or arugula-mayo mix).
Place the mozzarella‑topped beef burger patty on top.
Add the fresh cherry tomatoes.
Spread mayo on the top bun, close it up, and serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
Excellent with garlic Parmesan fries, a simple side salad, or roasted vegetables.
Add crispy prosciutto for an extra decadent twist.
Great with a sparkling lemonade or a light red wine.
