The Base
- 2 Classic Burger Patties*

Instructions
- Prepare the toppings - slicethe fresh mozzarella, slice the vine tomato, and mash the avocado - and set aside.
- Grill Classic Burger Patties until desired doneness, topping each with a slice of mozzarella cheese right after the burgers are flipped for maximum melting time.

Notes
Classic Burger Patties: This is our original recipe for delicious homemade burger patties. But we totally get it if you want to use frozen or pre-made patties to make this dish a little easier!
Melting the cheese: To get extra melty cheese on your burgers, try covering the pan with a lid! (If you're grilling on the stove like we do).
Serving suggestions: This "healthy" burger pairs well with a side of sweet potato tots (or sweet potato fries) and a crisp, light beer.
