If there was ever a burger these last precious days of summer need……it’s a bruschetta mozzarella burger, but please make mine a triple.
Juicy beef burger + melty mozzarella + fresh basil tomato topping = the bruschetta twist you never knew you needed in your life. It. Is. Legendaaaaary.
And I don’t know about you but tomato season is in FULL SWING around here and pretty much everywhere I look I see piles of tomatoes.
So we all must do our part and make bruschetta mozzarella burgers. Take one for the team, guys.
So to start off this burger business we’re gonna make a nice and simple burger patty. Literally, NOTHING fancy here, just beef and some spices. The way burgers should be.
Grill ‘em up til they’re all nice and juicy and throw some fresh mozzarella slices on there for good measure.
Then invite some juicy SUMMAH fresh tomatoes to the party and pile in all the bruschetta fixings like balsamic vinegar + a whole slew of fresh basil. Please do comprehend the fact that these are the best burgers eveeeeer.
The summer freshness of the tomatoes paired with the juicy meat and melty fresh mozzarella is a thing you’re gonna wanna hold onto most the rest of August, y’all, seriously.
Loaded sky-high burger just how we like things around here. Go ahead and have two, I won’t tell anyone.
