Italian-style burger: pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella

Ingredients

• 1 burger bun
• 1 tablespoon pesto sauce
• 3 sundried tomatoes
• 1 slice pancetta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 beef patty
• Pepper
• Salt
• 1 slice mozzarella
• 1 lettuce leaf

Materials

• 1 pan

Preparation

• Prepare the burger buns (or use ready-made ones). Cut a bun in half and brown the inner sides in the pan if desired.
• Spread the pesto sauce on both inner sides of the bun. Place sundried tomatoes on the bottom half of the bun.
  
• Grill the pancetta in a hot pan.
• In the pan, pour the olive oil and cook the beef patty. When you flip it, season with salt and pepper, and add the mozzarella on top so that it has time to melt.
  
• Assemble the burger: on the layer of sundried tomatoes, place the beef patty and melted mozzarella, the grilled pancetta, the lettuce, and close the bun. It's ready!

Observations

You can make the burger buns yourself.

We made a burger with fresh bread and chose to leave the bun plain so it would be soft. You can also toast it by cutting it in half and placing it cut-side down on a hot pan for a few minutes. Your burger will be crispier.

Cook the beef patty to your liking.
