- Split the brioche buns, spread mayo on each half, and toast in a pan until golden and crispy
- For the burgers, heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side. Once done, top with mozzarella and let it melt.
- Time to assemble: Layer your ROMAburgers on toasted brioche with burger sauce, peppers, rapini, and caramelized onions.
