PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until just mixed.

  Divide the beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin, wide circular patties.

• 3

  Cut the mozzarella cheese into small stick shapes and place them in the center of one beef patty.

• 4

  Place the second patty over the cheese and pinch the edges together firmly to seal the mozzarella inside.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

  Carefully place the stuffed patty in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and the cheese is melted.

  While the burger rests, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the same skillet for about 60 seconds.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun and topping with lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
