Mamma Mia! Red Pepper and Burrata Burgers

About the Recipe: The recipe was over-the-top delicious with a wonderful blend of Italian flavors. It was like taking a quick trip to Italy. The burgers were tender with a surprise spicy Italian sausage taste and placed on mayo covered crisp baby arugula and basil greens. Summer juicy tomato slices were shingled over the burger with a burst of creamy Burrata cheese swirled on the top. A buttery Brioche bun on top captured all that goodness inside. When you try these, you are in for a real treat but have lots of napkins available for all those creamy cheese drizzles. What fun!

Recipe from:  Tara Teaspoon, Tara Bench, Delicious Gatherings, p. 146, Shadow Mountain Publishing.

To assemble burgers, spread garlic mayonnaise on the bottom of each bun and top with arugula. Add a grilled burger, then some slices of tomato. Cut burrata into pieces and add a few to the top of each burger, making sure to include the creamy center. Add bun tops and serve. You can garnish with fresh basil leaves or add some to the bun along with the arugula.

Cook’s Note: We used 1 large clove of garlic when making the mayonnaise. Our St. Pierre Brioche Burger Buns were purchased at Pay Less/Kroger Supermarket. We also olive oil sprayed and lightly sprinkled the insides of the buns with Parmesan cheese before toasting them in the oven. We pressed out burgers to ½ to ¾ in thickness, cooked them for about 9 minutes to reach the temperature of 160 degrees F. Upon resting, they reached 165 Degrees F.

Yield:  4 large burgers or 6 smaller burgers
