Basil and Mozzarella Burgers

Basil and Mozzarella Burgers are probably one of the best tasting burgers I have ever had. The sun-dried tomato mayo really elevates the taste!

Basil and Mozzarella Burger is a great gourmet burger that can easily be made at home. It is packed full of delicious flavors. Be sure to take the time to make the sun-dried tomato mayo!  If you have extra mayo it is great on a sandwich or in a wrap. 

Burgers are one of my favorite foods to eat year round. I can almost always go for a good burger. I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2012 Annual Recopies Cookbook.
