6 slices firm-textured white bread
3/4 cup drained dried tomatoes packed in oil with herbs (reserve oil), minced
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 3/4 pounds 93% lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups shredded smoked fontina cheese
12 hamburger buns, split horizontally
avocados
butter lettuce leaves
Dijon mustard

1
Mix bread in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form.
2
Pour crumbs into a bowl and combine with tomatoes and 6 tbsp. of the reserved oil, eggs, salt and pepper.
3
Add ground beef and gently mix with a fork until ingredients are evenly blended, being careful not to over mix.
4
Top each cheese-topped patty with a plain patty and gently press edges together to seal well and place on platters.
5
Cover each platter (airtight) and chill at least 20 minutes. These can be left covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
6
Preheat grill to 600u00b0 - 650u00b0 F. After grill is preheated, place patties on oiled cooking grids and close lid.
7
Cook 6 minutes, then turn burgers with a wide spatula. Continue cooking until meat is no longer pink in center (make a small cut to test, but be careful not to let cheese drip out). This will take an additional 6 - 7 minutes.
8
Transfer burgers to a platter and loosely cover with foil. Place buns with cut sides down on grill and cook until toasted, about 1 minute.
9
Transfer buns to a clean platter, put burgers in buns and garnish to taste.
10
Devour.
