Mom's Gourmet Burgers

This weekend marks the first official weekend of summer! My mom is an amazing cook, and last summer she whipped up some out of this world burgers. Here are six of her creations:


1) Beef, topped with pineapple, gouda cheese, on top of arugula, with pesto mayonnaise.

2) Beef with basil, pepper, garlic, balsamic vinegar, topped with oven roasted tomato with garlic, mozzarella cheese, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, on top of arugula, with basil mayonnaise. ... Roasted tomatoes alone tickle my taste buds!

3) Beef, topped with sauteed pear slices, brie cheese, caramelized onion, on top of lettuce, with herbed mustard mayonnaise. ... This one is my favorite!!

4) Beef with garlic and cilantro, topped with pepper jack cheese, homemade salsa, on top of arugula, with guacamole mayonnaise.

5) Beef with minced garlic and soy sauce, topped with hoisen reduction, caramelized onions, bean sprouts, on top of napa cabbage with wasabi mayonnaise.

6) Beef, topped with pancetta, herbed cream cheese, dill pickle slices, caramelized onion, on top of arugula.

Fire up your grills this weekend, and create a gourmet burger or two. Enjoy!
