1/4 cup drained oil packed dried tomatoes with herbs (reserve oil), minced
1 O Organics(r) large egg, beaten to blend
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground lean beef
1/2 cup shredded Safeway SELECT Primo Taglio Smoked Fontina Cheese
4 Safeway Hamburger Buns, split horizontally and toasted
Instructions
In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, minced tomatoes
and 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil, egg, salt,
and pepper. Add ground beef and gently mix with a
fork just until ingredients are evenly blended.
Divide meat mixture into 8 equal portions. With
your hands, shape each portion into a 4 inch wide
patty. In the center of 4 of the patties, gently
make a shallow depression about 2 inches wide;
place one fourth of the fontina cheese in each
depression. Gently top each cheese topped patty
with a plain patty; press edges together to seal
well. Lay patties side by side on a plate. Cover
airtight and chill at least 20 minutes or up to 24
hours.
Prepare barbecue grill and preheat for direct heat
cooking (the charcoal or gas flame is directly under
the food). Before you put the grill over the hot
coals, brush it with a medium coat of oil.
Lay patties on lightly oiled grill over a solid
bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you
can hold your hand just above grill level only 2
to 3 seconds). Keep charcoal grill uncovered;
close lid on gas grill. Cook 6 minutes, then turn
burgers with a wide spatula. Continue to cook
cooking until meat is no longer pink in center
(make a small cut to test, but be careful not to
let cheese drip out), about 7 minutes longe
Transfer burgers to buns and garnish to taste.
To make the bread crumbs, whirl 2 pieces of firm
textured white bread in a food processor or
blender until fine crumbs form. To toast buns, lay
cut side down on grill beside burgers for 1 to 2
minutes.
