Bellissimo Bruschetta Burgers
with Herby Potato Wedges & Parmesan-Roasted Asparagus
- Milk

- Wheat
Bruschetta, or to some, “broo-sketta,” is one of those foods that’s just as fun to say as it is to eat. The delicious mixture of chopped tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and fresh herbs—usually piled on top of bread—is pretty tough to beat. Well, our chef-innovators clearly took that as a challenge and gave it the most delicious upgrade possible: swapping out that bread for juicy, mozz-topped beef patties! Everything is assembled between toasty garlic butter buns and served alongside Italian-seasoned potato wedges and roasted asparagus sprinkled with Parmesan. One bite will transport your tastebuds to the Italian countryside.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Quarter tomatoes. Thinly slice chives. Pick parsley leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus. • Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until softened, 10 seconds. Stir in garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the asparagus then).
• While potatoes roast, in a second small bowl, combine tomatoes, vinegar, half the chives, half the chopped parsley, and a pinch of garlic to taste. Season with salt and pepper. • Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. • In a medium bowl, combine beef*, remaining chives, remaining chopped parsley, remaining Italian Seasoning, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss asparagus on empty side with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Push stalks close together and sprinkle with Parmesan. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and toss asparagus on a second baking sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack and roast until potatoes are browned, asparagus is tender, and cheese melts, 10-12 minutes more.
• While asparagus roasts, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. • In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with mozzarella; cover pan until cheese melts. • Meanwhile, in a third small bowl, combine ketchup and mayonnaise.
• Toast buns; spread cut sides with garlic butter. • Fill buns with patties and bruschetta topping. Divide burgers, potato wedges, and asparagus between plates. Serve sauce on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love this Burger. Easy to make. The toasted brioche bun with the garlic butter and bruschetta brought us right to flavortown. Highly recommend.
This is one of the best burgers I have ever made. The bruschetta was an option I have never thought of for a burger. It was definitely a flavor explosion
The marinated tomatoes were a great addition to the burger. Suggestion: Do not put the parmesan cheese on the asparagus until it has finished roasting. The cheese gets too hard and crusty.
Excellent burgers and fries! The asparagus was almost too much added in (portion-wise). The steps were a little oddly arranged and harder to follow, but that is probably because of the 6-step format of the recipe cards. I appreciated the tip for how long to cook the burgers because I never guess correctly. These were cooked just the way i liked thanks to the cooking time tip!
We cubed the potatoes instead of wedges and it helped make them crispy and perfect with this burger! My husband isn't a fan of Bruschetta, so I left it off his and he said the burger alone was great
I loved the asparagus, and the potatoes were good. The time and temperature weren't enough to get the potatoes crispy, so we just cooked them a bit longer. The burger topping was a bit strong for me, but I'll just use less on my second serving.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I wasn't craving it, but once I tried the bruschetta mix as it was marinating - yum! I was on board!
Bruschetta and a burger just don't work. Plus the bun is too dense. If you want to do a bruschetta burger, serve it open face on two perfect oval broiled pieces of rustic bread. Cut back on the Italian seasoning and maybe just top with fresh basil leaves. This burger tasted like a meatball.
The flavor profile of this dish is delicious. The bruschetta on top of the burger makes this dish.
Burger was wonderful along with potatoes. We waited too long to make so the asparagus wasn't quite as good but lesson learned by us since this is something so new! It was a great midday meal for certain. Quality products
