Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 1/4 pounds ground chuck
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 9 small ciabatta rolls, sliced in 1/2
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 9 slices (4 1/2 ounces) Taleggio cheese
- 9 large basil leaves
Directions
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the ground chuck, Parmesan cheese, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Pulse until ingredients are combined. Form the mixture into 9 patties. Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes each side.
Brush the cut side of each roll with the olive oil and toast on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly golden.
To serve, place 1 mini burger on the bottom half of each of the rolls. Place 1 slice of Taleggio cheese on top of the burgers. Place the basil leaf on top of the cheese and cover with the top half. Serve.

These burgers were delicious! They had such great flavor and were easy to make. I prepped all of the flavorings in the food processor, but worked them into the beef by hand. Everyone loved them!

I really enjoyed these burgers. I had to substitute ketchup for the tomatoe paste since I couldn't find any in the house and havarti cheese for the tallegio because I couldn't find it at the grocery store. But it still turned out very flavorful. I also worked the mixture by hand rather than in the food processor because I was afraid of overworking the mixture. No regrets there. I'll continue to do it by hand. The bay leaf on top really was a nice touch.
