These taste like juicy little meatloafs, with bruschetta topping. Tasty, but I thought the amount of Italian seasoning was a too much. It tasted overly "herby." I think maybe one teaspoon would have been more then enough. I really liked the topping, but there was more of it than could fit on top of the patties, so I just used the leftovers as garnish when they were plated.
