Sizzling Summer Must Haves
The start of summer brings with it sunshine, laughter, and the smell of endless burning embers firing up amazing food for families and friends.
To celebrate Father’s Day and the beginning of summer, BigCrumbs.com featuring Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries and Shakes.
Nibble on this:
Trattoria Burger
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck or ground turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
8 ounces fresh whole-milk mozzarella, sliced into 8 slices
4 hamburger buns, split; toasted if desired
4 slices ripe beefsteak tomato
8 fresh basil leaves
8 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions, about 6 ounces each. Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
Cook the burgers, using canola oil, and topping each one with 2 slices of cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking. (A basting cover is an aluminum dome meant to cover the burger, without touching the cheese, to melt the cheese.)
Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with sliced tomato and 2 basil leaves. Drizzle each burger with 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon olive oil, cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.
Serves 4.
