Mozzarella Stick Burger with Marinara
Juicy pan-seared beef patty topped with a crispy baked mozzarella stick and zesty sugar-free marinara, served on a toasted sprouted grain bun for a nostalgic yet wholesome bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz 93% lean ground beef
0.5 whole sprouted grain hamburger bun
1 stick low-fat mozzarella string cheese
1 tbsp whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg white
0.25 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 cup baby arugula
2 slice tomato
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the mozzarella string cheese in half crosswise to create two sticks.
Whisk the egg white in a shallow bowl until frothy.
Combine panko, garlic powder, and oregano in a separate bowl.
Dip each cheese stick into the egg white and then roll in the panko mixture until coated.
Bake the cheese sticks for 6 minutes until the coating is golden and the cheese is just starting to soften.
Season the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then form into a 1-inch thick patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through.
Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun and warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan.
Assemble the burger by placing arugula and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the beef patty, baked mozzarella sticks, and a spoonful of marinara.
