You can serve these juicy burgers on hamburger buns if you like, but I think toasted English muffins are wonderful. Use purchased pesto or
make your own.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch pepper
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 4 thin slices Havarti cheese
- 4 English muffins, split
- 2 tablespoons butter
Preparation:
In medium bowl combine ground beef, 1/4 cup
pesto, salt, and pepper and mix gently just until combined. Form into 8 thin patties. Divide 1/4 cup pesto between 4 of the patties and top with slices of cheese. Top with remaining thin patties and gently press sides to seal. Cook, 4-6" from medium coals, for 10-12 minutes, turning once, until thoroughly cooked (internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F). Or cook on a dual sided indoor grill for 6-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked. Spread butter on cut sides of English muffins and either toast on grill or in toaster oven. Serve burgers on muffins.
