Melt into the moment. Grated mozzarella drapes itself over tender ground beef patties as they finish cooking on the stovetop. Those cheesy, meaty, herby aromas will set your mouth watering. Use the same pan to toast potato-scallion buns to cushion each burger in gourmet style. Drop in creamy mayo and strips of roasted pepper for sharp twang, along with a quick salad of baby greens and carrots in honey-Dijon vinaigrette.

Preparation
Prepare the patties
In a medium bowl, combine the beef, spices and S&P. Form into 2 patties (double for 4 portions).
Cook the patties
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the patties and cook, 4 to 6 min. on one side, until partially cooked. Flip and top with the cheese. Cook, 5 to 7 min., until the cheese has melted and the patties* are cooked through. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the baby greens, carrots and vinaigrette.
Toast the buns
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the buns and toast, cut-sides down, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through and beginning to brown.
Finish & serve
Thinly slice the roasted pepper lengthwise. Divide the bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with the mayo, a patty, the roasted pepper, a spoonful of the salad and a bun top. Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
