Instructions

Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
1/2 Cup Light Mayo, 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard, 2 Cloves Garlic, Salt and Pepper

For the Burger Patties

Transfer the pesto to a bowl with the ground meats and a pinch of salt and pepper, gently knead to blend.
1 Pound Ground Beef Chuck, 1/2 Pound Ground Sirloin, 1/4 Cup Pesto, Salt and Pepper
Form the mixture into four 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Brush the burger patties lightly with olive oil. Add a small indentation in the middle to keep the meat from puffing up and shrinking.
Olive Oil
Grill the burgers over moderately high heat for 3 minutes. Flip the burgers, top them with cheese slices and close the grill to allow more melting. Cook for 3 minutes longer for medium-rare and 5 minutes longer for well done.
4 Slices Havarti Cheese

Assemble the Burgers

Meanwhile, grill the buns until lightly toasted, then spread some of the garlic mayo on the bottoms.
4 Brioche Hamburger Buns
Place lettuce on the mayo followed by the burgers on the lettuce. Top with more pesto, tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic glaze or just balsamic vinegar.
