A delightful twist on classic beef patties, topped with a fresh bruschetta mix and melted cheese.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, minced garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, and ground beef. Mix until well combined.
Avoid overmixing the beef to keep the patties tender.
Shape the mixture into four equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties until browned on one side, about 6 minutes.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties for a good sear.
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Cook until the patties are almost done, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
In a separate bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, parsley, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Top each patty with the bruschetta mixture and sprinkle with provolone and mozzarella cheese.
Layer the cheese evenly for consistent melting.
Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 4 minutes.
Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve the patties warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
