Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in fresh herbs like parsley or thyme instead of dried basil. You can also swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños. Ensure your grill or broiler is preheated for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These herbed hamburgers are delicious served on toasted egg twist buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Pair with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They also go well with the creamy flavors found in Cheesy Hamburger Macaroni, making it a perfect side dish.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes on each side, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 1-2 minutes, but this may affect the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the hamburger patties before cooking?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator before broiling.
How can I make these burgers more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the mixture. You can also experiment with different spices or cheese, like crumbled feta or cheddar, to create a unique twist. Additionally, letting the mixture rest for 30 minutes can help the flavors meld together.
What can I use instead of egg twist buns?
If egg twist buns are unavailable, any soft burger bun will work, such as brioche or whole wheat. For a low-carb option, you can use lettuce wraps instead of buns. This will provide a fresh crunch and pair nicely with the herbed flavors of the burger.
