Caprese Burger

melt-in-your-mouth Italian style

If the pesto in the first bite doesn’t get you, surely the fresh mozzarella in the next bite will. The sundried tomato mayo (see recipe) just may put you over the edge. Hold on to your seat!

I like to serve these gourmet burgers when tailgating. These are a real crowd pleaser and an easy dinner idea. These are perfect to throw on the grill and mix well with other burgers and dogs you may be serving.
