ROME-STYLE PIZZA BURGERS



Rome-Style Pizza Burgers image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon Calabrian chiles, chopped fresh chiles or flakes
1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 8 thin slices
4 slices focaccia, split
4 ounces arugula
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Balsamic vinegar, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or large cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the canola oil and let heat until it begins to shimmer.
  • Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Shape each portion with your hands into a round patty, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. Sprinkle both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
  • Put the burgers on the griddle or in the pan, divot-side up. Cook the burgers, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium doneness, about 8 minutes total.
  • While the burgers cook, combine the tomato sauce, Calabrian chiles, basil and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until warm, 4 to 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Top each burger with 2 slices of the mozzarella. Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover tightly with a lid. (If using a griddle, do one at a time and use a sandwich dome or stainless-steel bowl to cover.) Count to 10. Lift lid or dome to make sure that the cheese is totally melted (if not, cover again and count 5 second longer). Transfer the burgers to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
  • Place the burgers on the bottom halves of the focaccia slices. Top with the tomato sauce, arugula, Parmigiano-Reggiano, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and the top focaccia slices and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure the pizza dough is thin and crispy.
  • Don't overcook the burgers, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well.
  • Add your favorite toppings to the pizza burgers.
  • Serve the pizza burgers immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Pizza burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as a party appetizer. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a pizza burger recipe that everyone will love.
