Instructions
6 steps
Prepare the Patties
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
Add mozzarella cheese on top of the patties in the last minute of cooking to melt.Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Toasting adds flavor and prevents sogginess.Assemble the Burgers
On the bottom half of each bun, place a patty topped with melted mozzarella, followed by tomato slices and fresh basil leaves.
Layering in this order helps keep the basil from wilting.Add Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled burgers for added flavor.
Adjust the amount of glaze to your taste.Serve
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
Pair with a side salad or fries for a complete meal.
