A flavorful twist on classic burgers, these Italian-inspired patties are perfect for grilling and sure to impress.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, chopped parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties of your desired size.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling to retain their juices.
Serve the grilled burgers on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and mozzarella cheese.
Toast the buns on the grill for a minute for added flavor and texture.
