Bruschetta Beef Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 egg
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lb lean ground beef
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 sweet green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese or 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together egg, bread crumbs, garlic, 2 tablespoons water, herb seasoning and half each of the salt and cayenne pepper; add beef and mix well.
Form into four 1/2 inch thick patties.
In ovenproof frypan, heat oil over medium high heat; fry patties until bottoms are browned, about 6 minutes.
Turn; cook for 2 minutes more.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together tomatoes, green pepper, onion, parsley and remaining salt and cayenne pepper.
Spoon onto patties; sprinkle with cheese.
Broil 4 inches from heat until cheese begins to brown and pattties are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes.
