Have you ever tried an Italian pesto burger recipe?
Prosciutto, tomato, basil and mozzarella are flavors I love to eat but I’ve never combined them in a burger before.
So the other day, while I was shopping, my butcher’s aisle caught my attention. I also saw some pretty red tomatoes in the vegetable section and immediately thought of this Italian burger that I absolutely wanted to try. All that remained was to wait for the sunny days to arrive!
So I asked the butcher for two minced steaks that she prepared for me on site and a few thin slices of raw ham. I found the rest of the ingredients I needed on other shelves and once I got home, all I had to do was make my recipe. I have to tell you that it’s very, very good and you absolutely have to try it!
You will enjoy!
The secret lies in lightly melting the mozzarella on the meat while cooking. 😉 The meat that I found was really tasty and tasty, and I must say that cooked on the plancha, it will really add a little extra with a good grilled taste.
For the bread, I used small bread balls, but you can use classic burger buns (homemade) or even ciabatta bread.
