Experience ultimate summer flavor with this fresh and juicy bruschetta burger!
What makes this burger the “ultimate,” you ask? Great question! These bruschetta burger patties are part of Heinen’s Fan Favorites line of gourmet burgers, meaning they’re beloved by customers and top quality. It’s no surprise that Heinen’s gourmet burgers are great; they did start as a butcher shop after all! But what makes these burgers so special is that they’re handmade and pattied in-store by Heinen’s butchers with premium ingredients including CARE Certified protein, fresh produce and cheese.
Prepared over the stove or on the grill and topped with Heinen’s fresh-made bruschetta, this burger is an elevated spin on a classic summer meal, and all you have to do it cook it because the prep work is done by Heinen’s! That’s a win for anyone!
This dish pairs perfectly with a green salad, pasta salad or slaw, but no burger is complete without fries, so grab a bag of Heinen’s straight cut French fries, toss them in the air fryer or oven and enjoy!
