Preparation

Topping: Seed and core red pepper; cut lengthwise into sixths. In bowl, toss oil, salt and pepper to coat. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Transfer to small airtight container; let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

In large bowl, beat eggs; stir in bread crumbs, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, basil, onion, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Add beef; mix just until combined. On rimless baking sheet, shape into 8- x 6-inch (20 x 15 cm) patty. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)

Slide patty onto greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill for 10 minutes. Loosen with wide spatula. Slide onto clean rimless baking sheet; invert onto second rimless baking sheet and slide back onto grill. Grill until digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre registers 160°F (71°C), about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut flatbread in half crosswise. Place on grill; grill, turning once, until golden, 5 minutes. Place burger on one half of bread. Arrange basil and grilled pepper on burger. Place remaining bread on top. Cut into 6 pieces.
