Method
Relish: Combine all ingredients, season to taste, cover and refrigerate. Can be made 1 day before. Bring to room temperature before serving. Burgers: Form 4 6 oz patties. Cut each in half horizontally, add slice of buffalo mozzarella and reform patty. Salt and pepper to taste. Rub each patty with a little olive oil. Preheat iron skillet on high. When hot, but not smoking, add buffalo burgers and cook approximately 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Toast: Toast the garlic in a small pan. Turn heat to low and add butter. When melted, brush each slice of bread with mixture on both sides. Place bread under the broiler or on a grill until lightly browned. To serve place 1 piece of Texas Toast on a plate. Set a buffalo burger on top and spoon on plenty of relish.
Notes: Cook's Note: To roast the corn, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the silk and all but one layer of the husk, moisten the corn with water, place on a baking sheet, and place in the oven for about 40 minutes.
