Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds fully cooked boneless ham3/4 pound ground pork2 large eggs2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs1/3 cup packed brown sugar1/3 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple plus 3 tablespoons juice1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard1/4 teaspoon ground cloves8 slices Swiss cheese (1 ounce each) 8 kaiser rolls, split2 large tomatoes, cut in sixteen 1/4-inch slices1/2 cup honey mustard salad dressing1-1/2 cups fresh baby arugula, packedAdditional honey mustard salad dressing, optional
Preparation
Pulse ham in food processor until finely ground. Combine with pork, eggs, cracker crumbs, brown sugar, pineapple and juice, mustard and cloves. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight patties. Using fingertips, make a shallow indentation in center of each patty so it remains flat while grilling. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Grill burgers, covered, on a greased rack over medium-high direct heat for 5-6 minutes; turn and grill another 3-4 minutes. Add a slice of cheese to each burger; grill, covered, until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat when a thermometer reads 160°.
Place a burger on bottom half of each roll; add two tomato slices. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey mustard dressing. Divide arugula evenly among rolls; top each burger with a few sprigs. Replace top half of roll. If desired, serve with additional dressing.
