Ingredients 

• 1 lb ground beef, grass-fed if possible
• 1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 round sandwich buns
• 4 slices ripe tomato
• 4 slices fontina cheese
• 4 thin slices prosciutto

Instructions 

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to a medium-high temperature (about 400°F).
• Place the ground beef, garlic, gorgonzola cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, combine the ingredients gently and form into 4 equally sized patties. Chill for 15 minutes.
• Oil the grill grates, add the burgers and cook until you see juices start to accumulate on the top of the patties, approximately 4 minutes. Carefully flip the bugers and continue grilling for 2 minutes. Top each burger with a slice of fontina and grill until cooked to your liking, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Place a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each roll. Season with a little salt and pepper, then add a burger and top with a slice of prosciutto. Serve immediately.
