Italian Ciabatta Cheeseburgers

with Mozzarella, Onion, and Balsamic Greens

Burgers are about as all-American as you can get (bonus points for making them at your all-American cookout). But that doesn’t mean they don’t have dreams of voyaging to faraway places. These mozzarella-topped patties with balsamic greens on ciabatta are what happens when cheeseburgers take a trip to Italy. In fact, their dolce vita attitude made them a hit with our happy cooks last time, which is why we’re adding this recipe to the HelloFresh Hall of Fame.

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Cook Onion
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees or grill to high. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and 1 tsp sugar. Cook, tossing, until browned, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.

Make Vinaigrette
2

While onion cooks, mince or grate garlic until you have ½ tsp (you may have a clove left over). In a large bowl, whisk together ½ TBSP tomato paste, 1 TBSP balsamic vinegar, 1 TBSP olive oil, and as much minced garlic as you like (we sent more tomato paste and vinegar than needed). Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Burgers
3

Wipe out same pan, then heat a drizzle of olive oil in it over medium-high heat (skip if grilling). Shape beef into 2 patties slightly wider than the bread. Season with salt and pepper. Add to pan or grill. Cook until just shy of desired doneness, 2-4 minutes per side. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Cover pan or grill and cook until cheese melts, 1 minute more.

Toast Bread and Prep
4

Split ciabattas in half. Toast in oven or on grill until golden, 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, halve tomatoes lengthwise.

Toss Salad
5

Add mixed greens, tomatoes, and cranberries to bowl with vinaigrette and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble and Serve
6

Fill ciabattas with burgers, onion, and a little bit of salad. Divide between plates and serve with remaining salad on the side.
