Ingredients

> 8 oz ground pork
> 8 oz 90% lean ground beef
> 1 medium egg
> 2 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
> 4- 6 Campari tomatoes
> 4 Italian style bread buns
> 1/2 lb mozzarella
> 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
> 2 1/2 oz arugula
> 3/4 oz fresh basil

Steps

1
Light the grill. Place the ground pork, beef, egg and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Season with salt (in moderation) and pepper and combine with your hands. Divide the mixture equally into 8 and roll into balls. Form patties by pressing the mixture between 2 layers of plastic wrap. Set aside.
2
Slice the tomatoes and grill them for 2 minutes, turning once.
3
Halve the bread buns and grill the cut sides for 2 minutes or until nicely browned.
4
Remove and discard the plastic wrap from the burgers and grill for 6 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked, turning once.
5
Cut the mozzarella into 16 slices. Sprinkle the grilled side of the buns with the olive oil. Place the arugula onto the bottom half of the buns, followed by a burger, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of mozzarella and a few basil leaves. Repeat the process to create a second layer. Cover with the top half of the buns. If necessary use a wooden skewer to secure the tops.
