Ingredients

  • Ground beef - 400 grams (80/20 blend)
  • Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped
  • Fresh parsley - 10 grams, chopped
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Egg - 1 large
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, sliced
  • Sun-dried tomatoes - 50 grams, chopped
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Kosher burger buns - 2
  • Arugula - 50 grams
  • Balsamic glaze - for drizzling

Steps

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped basil, parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into two even patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
  4. Flip the patties and top each with slices of fresh mozzarella and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan with the remaining olive oil until golden.
  6. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, topping with arugula, and drizzling with balsamic glaze. Close the buns and serve immediately.
