INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 whole Sprouted grain bun

1 tsp Olive oil

1 slice Tomato

1 leaf Butter lettuce

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 2

  Gently shape the ground beef into a patty about 1-inch thick, being careful not to overwork the meat, and season both sides with the spice blend.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 4

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to develop a deep, flavorful crust.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the mozzarella cheese directly onto the hot skillet surface right next to the patty.

• 6

  Once the cheese begins to bubble and the edges turn golden brown, use a spatula to lift the crispy cheese and fold it over the top of the burger patty.

• 7

  Cover the skillet with a lid for 1 minute to finish cooking the beef to your desired doneness while the cheese sets.

• 8

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the skillet or a toaster.

• 9

  Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the crispy mozzarella-topped beef patty.
