Crispy Mozzarella Stick Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with almond-crusted mozzarella sticks and zesty marinara, wrapped in crisp butter lettuce for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 96% lean ground beef
2 whole mozzarella cheese sticks
1 tbsp almond flour
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp liquid egg whites
1 tsp avocado oil
2 tbsp sugar-free marinara sauce
2 large butter lettuce leaves
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then shape into one thick patty.
Slice the mozzarella sticks in half crosswise to create four smaller segments.
In a small dish, mix the almond flour, grated parmesan, and dried oregano.
Dip each mozzarella segment into the liquid egg whites, then dredge thoroughly in the almond flour mixture until well-coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef patty for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked to your preference.
While the burger cooks, place the coated mozzarella sticks in an air fryer at 400°F for 3-4 minutes or pan-fry them quickly until the coating is golden and crispy.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Lay out the butter lettuce leaves, place the cooked burger patty on top, stack the crispy mozzarella sticks over the beef, and drizzle with marinara sauce.
