Mozzarella Stick Stuffed Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty stuffed with a gooey mozzarella center, served on a toasted whole grain bun with crisp garden toppings.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz 93% lean ground beef
1 whole part-skim mozzarella string cheese stick
1 whole whole grain burger bun
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 leaf butter lettuce
1 slice tomato
0 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin, even patties.
Cut the mozzarella string cheese stick into three equal pieces and place them in the center of one beef patty.
Place the second beef patty on top of the cheese and pinch the edges of the two patties together firmly to ensure the cheese is completely sealed inside.
Season both sides of the assembled stuffed patty with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the burger in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the cheese center is melted.
While the burger rests for a minute, toast the whole grain bun in the same skillet until the edges are golden brown.
Assemble the burger by placing the stuffed patty on the toasted bottom bun, then topping with the butter lettuce and tomato slice before adding the top bun.
