Sun-dried Caprese Burger

Ground beef shaped into patties, frozen briefly to hold shape and avoid breakage. Sun-dried tomatoes blended with roasted red peppers and seasoned lightly, spread on cooked patties. Classic mozzarella cheese melted atop, fresh basil leaves provide herbaceous punch. Toasted kaiser rolls bind everything. Prep involves equal patty division, blending vegetable paste, grilling to preferred doneness guided by visual cues and touch, resting meat before assembly. Substitutions advised for ingredients like replacing mozzarella with provolone or swapping roasted peppers for charred poblano peppers. Timing flexible, focused on sizzle sounds and surface color changes. Patience in layering ensures texture contrast and balanced flavors.
