Preheat the oven to 220°C. Transfer the fries to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden-brown, tossing halfway. Meanwhile, slice onion into half rings and the courgette into thin rounds. Slice half each of the tomato and mozzarella, then dice the rest.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion for 1 - 2 minutes, then add the burger and fry for 5 minutes. Flip the burger and top with the sliced mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper, then cover with the lid and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove the burger from the pan and set aside.
To the onion, add the sugar and half of the balsamic vinegar. Mix well and fry for 1 more minute. In a salad bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the rest of the balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Did you know... onion is a good source of vitamin C, which aids with iron absorption.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the Italian seasoning. Transfer the courgette to a parchment-lined baking sheet and combine with half of the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cut open the ciabatta and spread with the rest of the oil, then bake alongside the courgette for 5 - 6 minutes.
Top the ciabatta with some of the courgette, then add the sliced tomato, the cheeseburger, the fried onion and the bruschetta dip. Transfer the rest of the courgette to the salad bowl. Add the diced tomato and mozzarella, then toss well to combine.
Serve the fries on plates and grate the Parmigiano Reggiano directly over (see Tip). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the burger with the salad and fries, along with mayonnaise as preferred.
Tip: if you have extra cheese, you can also add some to the burger.
