Heat grill or ridged grill pan to medium-high. Lightly toast your buns. Have all your burger ingredients ready for assembly on your counter or table, except for beef.

Ask a question about this stepHey Arelle let me know if / where you find it, I have been scanning cheese departments with no luck ....
haha! i'm gonna check out antonelli's cheese shop. i noticed CM has occasionally stocked a mass-produced variety, but i'd rather find one that's a bit more authentic
If you have a Trader Joe's near you, their burrata isn't too bad.
Thanks, arielleclementine! I will have to check out TJ's too! Has anyone ever made homemade mozzarella? (just a hop/skip to homemade burrata) :-)
Looks delish. Still haven't gotten my hands on burrata as its always sold-out here!
Thanks, Midge! I had the same problem - ask your cheesemonger (is that what they're called?) what day they get their delivery, and go then.
I'm now a fan of burrata - and glad I don't have to choose between your 3 burger recipes - they all look good!
C'mon now, first you have me making pizza ( timer up in 5 minutes) and now I have to deal with this ;) Shopping at WF tomorrow for Dad's Day - we'll see about this...
ps YUM!
