Notes

I love this recipe with brioche buns because of their subtle sweet and buttery flavor and fluffy texture. You could also use hamburger buns.

Please note that the nutritional information is based only on the pizza burger itself with the toppings, and not the bun or what that part of the recipe includes as buns vary so greatly.
