Why You Will Love This Recipe
My family has always loved gathering around the table for burger night. But sometimes, between work and school, the traditional burger prep felt a bit overwhelming. I remembered a trip to Italy where I indulged in fresh focaccia bread flavored with garlic and Parmesan. The idea hit me: why not combine that comforting Italian flavor with our beloved burger? That’s how these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs were born – a perfect blend of American classic and Italian charm, now a cherished tradition in our own home.
