Instructions

Make the Butter

1.Remove the papery outer layer from the head of garlic and slice off the top to expose the cloves slightly.

3.Cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted pulp into a bowl.
4.Whip with the butter, parsley, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
Make the Burgers

1.Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
2.Season the beef patties generously with salt and pepper and grill, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once.
3.Move the burgers to the cooler side of the grill (or reduce the heat on the stove) and top each with some marinara sauce and 2 slices cheese.
4.Spread the cut sides of each roll with some of the garlic butter and place facedown on the grill.
5.Cover and cook until the cheese melts and the buns are toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
6.Place a burger on each roll bottom; add some chopped basil and the roll top.
7.Serve with more marinara sauce, if desired.
