1/4 cup Minced red onion
1/4 cup Snipped basil
2 tbsp Shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook on a well-oiled grill over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn and top each burger with equal amounts of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese; cook for 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted and burgers are cooked through.

Place arugula onto toasted bread and top with burgers. Serve with additional warmed marinara sauce, if you like. Makes 4 servings.
