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

I was watching her show when she was making these and they look absolutely fabulous, so I skipped the ribs and made these for supper instead. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I cooked a litle too long so they were a little dry but that's may fault, they were still amazing! I've cooked these multiple times since then and they only get better and better and people love them! <br />What I usually do is mix the meat ahead of time and let it sit for an hour or so. I don't put my meat in the food processor, I just use my hands to mix it up. But don't overwork the meat. I also add little olive oil to the meat mixture. I use fresh mozzerella instead of the other cheese, I couldn't find the other one in the store. The fresh mozzerella is amazing on it! The burgers are even better the next day!
