Pizza Burgers are great and this is definitely no exception. The tastes are simply amazing.
Pizza Hamburgers #BurgerWorld
Ingredients:
For the Base:
• 4 hamburger patties
For the Topping:
• 2 canned tomatoes, peeled, chopped into small cubes and thoroughly mixed with a generous teaspoon of tomato puree, or you can also use some pizza sauce, about 4 or 5 tablespoons
• 1 generous tablespoon prosciutto or salty ham, chopped
• 1 generous tablespoon canned mushrooms, drained and chopped
• mozzarella cheese sliced, enough to cover 4 patties or about a handful of grated "dry" mozzarella
• 1/2 clove garlic crushed or finely chopped
• 2 pinches dried oregano, only 1 pinch if using pizza sauce
• 1 pinch ground black pepper For the Rolls:
• 2 fresh rolls, about the same size as the patties
• butter
Procedures:
Add the ham, mushrooms, garlic, oregano, and pepper to the tomato mix and stir through. The patties should preferably be broiled under a grill or cooked on a Weber-like barbecue with the lid on. Grill/broil the patties until half cooked and flip them over.
Barbecue:- immediately spoon the sauce onto the patties, cover liberally with cheese and put the lid on the barbecue.
Oven/Broiler:- wait a minute or two after turning the patties before you add the sauce and cheese. The burgers are ready when the cheese has melted. I have made these Pizza Burgers in a frying pan and it works quite well but you have to adapt slightly. I pre-warmed the sauce before spooning it onto the turned patties, added the cheese and put a lid on the pan. Split the rolls and toast the cut surfaces lightly (under grill, on barbecue or in a dry pan) just before the patties are done. Spread a little butter on the toasted surfaces, add the patty and enjoy a great tasting Pizza Burger. You could use 4 rolls and top the patty with the other half of the roll but I prefer them this way. Serves 4
