Parmesan Crusted Burgers with Grilled Onions and Tomatoes

Parmesan Crusted Burgers with Grilled Onions and Tomatoes, a delicious burger coated in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cooked to perfection. Top it with these amazing grilled veggies and it becomes one of the best Summer Burgers. Try it!

As we head into one of the busiest weekends in the year, Canada Day and the 4th of July I decided why not share one of the tastiest burgers I have ever made. Burgers are the best Summer foods.

We are not the fast-food-joint-going-family,  so needless to say when we get the urge for a Burger, it’s homemade for us. I can’t say I mind, because to tell the truth I would rather have a big juicy meaty hamburger then one that looks like someone sat on it.

I have made a few burgers in my time, from Salmon Burger to a Tuna Burger and A Veggie Burger to an Italian Stuffed Burger but now …..

I present my Parmesan Crusted Burgers with Grilled Onions and Tomatoes. Sometimes what I love most about a really good burger is the stuff you can put on it. I’m talking about some fresh tomato or onion slices and some lettuce leaves.

So I thought why not do the next best thing and grill those slices. If you have never grilled an onion or a tomato before, you must trust me it is amazing.

Parmesan Crusted Burgers with Grilled Onions and Tomatoes

Unlike Grilled Zucchini or Eggplant I drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle some basil and oregano on the onion and tomato while they are on the grill. Flip them over and drizzle and sprinkle some more.

While you are grilling your onion and tomato slices, cook up your Parmesan Crusted Burgers. And if you really want an even better burger, why not toast the Hamburger Buns on the grill too.

Put it all together and then have yourself a Wonderful Holiday Weekend. And if you are looking for a Dessert these Patriotic Fruit Tarts would be perfect. Have a good one, Buon Appetito!
