Italian Stuffed Cheese Burger
Inspired from the Calabria region of Italy
Tucking a piece of cheese into the centre of these burgers will melt into a gooey surprise when grilled.
Ingredients
- 1 package Villaggio® Italian Style Crustini Buns
- 8 Italian sausages, casings removed
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) seasoned breadcrumbs
- 4 oz (113 g) Fontina cheese, cut evenly into 8 cubes
- 2 cups (500 mL) arugula
- 16 tomato slices
Directions
Mix sausage meat with eggs and breadcrumbs until combined. Divide mixture into 8 balls. Stuff a piece of cheese in the centre of each ball. Flatten and shape into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick patties.
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Grill burgers, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Assemble burgers in buns with arugula and tomato slices.
If serving for less people, divide accordingly.
Tips
Chill burgers for 1 hour for easier grilling.
Top burgers with mayonnaise and sundried tomato pesto, if desired.
