Lean Beef Burger with Cottage Cheese Protein Bun
Pan-seared lean beef patty served on a fluffy, toasted cottage cheese bun with crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% lean ground beef
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 large egg
1 tbsp oat flour
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 leaves romaine lettuce
2 slices tomato
1 tbsp yellow mustard
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and oat flour until the mixture is completely smooth and aerated.
Pour the batter into two equal 4-inch circles on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22 minutes until the buns are golden and firm to the touch.
While the buns bake, season the lean ground beef with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, then form into a single thick patty.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes before placing the beef patty on the bottom bun.
Top the patty with romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and mustard, then finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
