If you've felt this summer just wasn't the same, you may be right. It's because you need to try a watermelon burger!
Look, we'll still get some hot days for the next month or so. A hot burger on a hot day sometimes doesn't do the trick. Why not cool down with grilled watermelon?
Check out this recipe I discovered for a juicy, tender and refreshing burger! Just like beefy burgers or dogs, watermelon off the grill is heaven by itself. But, add a bun and a few toppings, like cheese and you can officially call it a, "burger"! Try it and let me know what YOU think!
Make a "Watermelon Burger with Goat Cheese"
You need:
4 slices of watermelon, cut 1 1/2 inches thick
salt and pepper to taste
Olive Oil
Goat cheese, or whatever cheese you like
4 square Ciabatta buns
Use the bread as a measuring tool, to cut perfectly sized watermelon burger “patties". Splash on olive oil and season with salt n pepper. Rub the grill grates with an oily paper towel. This keeps 'em from sticking. Then put the burgers directly over the flames. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, while moving them so they don't stick. Add your cheese, and grill another 2-3 minutes.
Throw the buns on the grates, give them a good tan, then add the watermelon covered cheese. You can also add lettuce or sprouts!
