Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a crispier exterior, shape the patties and chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before pan-frying or baking—this helps them hold together better and develop a golden crust.
- To enhance the pizza flavor, layer a thin slice of mozzarella on top of each burger patty just before the end of cooking, then broil briefly until bubbly and slightly browned.
- If you want a vegan version, substitute the cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use aquafaba (chickpea water) as a binder if needed.
- Serve the burgers open-faced on toasted gluten-free buns and top with fresh basil leaves, sliced olives, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra Italian flair and visual appeal.
