INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Beef (85% lean)
1 oz Mozzarella Cheese
1 Whole Wheat Mini Bun
1 large Egg White
1 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
2 leaves Lettuce
2 Tomato Slices
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Shape the lean ground beef into a patty approximately 6 oz in weight, seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the patty in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked, keeping the center juicy.
Meanwhile, prepare the crispy mozzarella by dipping the 1 oz cheese slice first in the egg white, then coating it evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
Using a separate lightly oiled pan or an air fryer, cook the coated mozzarella on medium heat/cycle for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Toast the whole wheat mini bun in the same skillet for about 1 minute until lightly toasted.
Assemble the burger by placing the seared beef patty on the bun, topping it with the crispy mozzarella, then layering with fresh lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced blend of savory flavors and satisfying textures.
