âMy mom always ate her hamburger on top of a salad. I thought it was quite unusual as a child, but I adjusted the concept to make it a light and tasty meal for the whole family!â Devon Delaney - Princeton, New Jersey Ingredients:
3 tablespoons dijon mustard |
3 tablespoons reduced-sugar apricot preserves |
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish |
2 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham, chopped |
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
3/4 teaspoon salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning |
8 slices french bread (1/2 inch thick) |
1 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach |
2 ounces brie cheese, cut into eight thin slices |
1/4 cup julienned roasted sweet red peppers |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, preserves and horseradish. In a small skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir prosciutto over medium heat until lightly browned. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef and lemon-pepper. Shape into eight patties.
3. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
4. Grill or broil bread for 1-2 minutes on each side or until toasted. Spread each slice of toast with 1-1/4 teaspoons reserved mustard sauce. Layer each with arugula, a burger, a cheese slice and 1-1/4 teaspoons additional sauce. Garnish with peppers and prosciutto. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
