Basil Burgers with Sun-Dried Tomato Mayonnaise

These basil-infused burgers are a delightful twist on the classic burger. The sun-dried tomato mayonnaise adds a burst of flavor and creaminess that complements the savory basil and Parmesan in the burger patty.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce and tomato slices for garnish

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped basil, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, and sun-dried tomatoes

Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste

Mix until well combined

Shape the mixture into 4 burger patties

Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of chopped basil

Once the burgers are cooked, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned

To assemble the burgers, spread the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun

Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a burger patty, and tomato slices

Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot
