Peach Caprese Burger

Burgers are often paired with salads, but why not throw the salad ingredients on a Burger? Fresh ingredients from the garden are a go-to for some of the best flavor-filled Burger recipes. 

One of the most popular salad-inspired Burgers out there is based on the classic Italian Caprese salad. Garden tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar are paired with The Very Best Burgers to give you a fresh & flavorful meal. But what if you took that Burger even further and made a slightly sweeter version using peaches instead of tomatoes?  Well, we think that would be delicious!

The Peach Caprese Burger is a delightful twist on a classic Hamburger, combining the flavors of summer with a touch of Italian inspiration. This Burger calls for grilled peaches, they will become caramelized, soft, and delicious! When you grill them, their natural sweetness is amplified, making it a harmonious balance to the beefy flavor of the Burger. In fact, the Schweid & Sons kitchen has a recipe for a sweet and savory Peach Caprese Burger that’s sure to hit the spot. 

This recipe is perfect for the summertime when you can get the best peaches! Peach season varies by state, but most fall from June/July through August/September. In some states including the “Peach State”, peach season starts in May. But if you’re lucky enough to live in Florida, you can enjoy peaches as early as March! Hurry, time is running out, head to your local grocer to get some in-season peaches for this Peach Caprese Burger! Make this your summer Burger staple!
