Mozzarella Stick Stuffed Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty stuffed with a gooey mozzarella core, served on a toasted whole wheat bun with crisp garden toppings.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz 93% Lean Ground Beef
1 stick Part-skim Mozzarella String Cheese
0.5 whole Whole Wheat Burger Bun
0.25 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.25 tsp Sea Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic Powder
1 leaf Romaine Lettuce
2 slices Tomato
1 slice Red Onion
PREPARATION
Cut the mozzarella string cheese into three equal segments.
In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, mixing gently by hand.
Divide the beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin, wide discs.
Place the mozzarella segments in the center of one beef disc, then place the second disc on top.
Pinch the edges of the beef together firmly to ensure the cheese is completely sealed inside the patty.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the burger in the pan and sear for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and the cheese center is melted.
While the burger rests for a minute, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the same pan.
Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun and layering with lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
