Caprese Burgers
We've made caprese sandwiches before, but we've never put all of that goodness together with a big juicy beef patty. It was a good decision. I'd been dreaming of putting creamy burrata on top of a burger (it's sort of been one of my recent food obsessions), so I decided why not include all of the other things that go with burrata and add tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil.
These are one of the most epic burgers we've made in quite awhile, worthy of a fancy burger restaurant! We bought pre-made hamburger patties from our local butcher shop that consists of three different kinds of ground beef combined into one delicious burger.
