Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I love this burger because of all its wonderful flavors! Marinated tomatoes, grilled onions, and a patty with sundried tomatoes, pairs deliciously with a sweet, rich, creamy Gorgonzola cheese spread. Mmmmm, these flavors bring to mind a marketplace café in Tuscany! This burger can be made indoors or on an outdoor grill.

    In a medium bowl, add tomato slices, basil, balsamic vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss to coat. Let sit while preparing burger.

    In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Gorgonzola, and chives until mixed.
  • 4
    Preheat large grill pan over medium high heat on stovetop. Brush 1 tablespoon reserved sundried tomato oil over red onions. Place onions on grill; grill 3-4 minutes, flipping once, or until grill marks appear. Place salami slices on grill pan; grill 3-4 minutes or until slightly crisp.
  • 5
    Grill hamburger patties, flipping once, 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Transfer patties to a plate; cover to keep warm.
  • 6
    Brush remaining 2 tablespoons sundried tomato oil over each cut side of bread. Place cut side down on grill; toast lightly, about 1-2 minutes.

    To assemble burger: Spread Gorgonzola cheese spread over cut side of each bottom bun. Top each with arugula, a burger patty, salami slice, tomato slice, and red onion. Close each with a top bun. Serve immediately.
