Shredded parmesan cheese and minced garlic make this burger extra juicy. Lightly sautéing the vine-ripened tomatoes marinated in red wine vinegar, honey and basil infuses the sweet and tangy flavors of the simple vinaigrette. Salty prosciutto grilled crisp and melted mozzarella give Italian flavor to an American favorite. - Kiss the Cook —Kiss the Cook
