I have been so obsessed with caprese since we had it at our wedding! I have been trying to find any excuse to make it.. so here we have CAPRESE BURGERS. These make the best burgers! It is kinda like your basic lettuce, tomato and cheese, but taken to a whole new and slightly fancier level.

This is the cheese that I used, it was really good!

I also used a smart bun and did not include that in my recipe builder, track your bun separately. I love Smart Buns because they are only 1 point and have no carbs.
