Burgers are a summer time favourite and these bruschetta themed burgers are a tasty treat! Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer consisting of grilled bread typically topped with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and it goes well in burgers! These burgers are made with ground beef with onion, garlic, basil, and oregano mixed in, before they are formed into patties and grilled. The tomato mixture includes olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, onion, basil and a pinch of salt. I like to top the patties with a slice of melted fresh mozzarella cheese before throwing them into the burgers! The final (and optional) step is to brush the buns with garlic oil and lightly toast them!
