INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1.5 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 large egg white

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

2 large butter lettuce leaves

2 slices tomato

1 slice red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

  Cut the mozzarella sticks in half crosswise to create shorter sticks.

• 3

  In a small shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.

• 4

  In a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

• 5

  Dip each mozzarella stick piece into the egg white, then roll in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated.

• 6

  Place the coated cheese sticks in the air fryer basket and cook for 4-5 minutes until the coating is golden and the cheese is just starting to soften.

• 7

  While the cheese sticks cook, season the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then form into a single thick patty.

• 8

  Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef patty for 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 9

  Place the butter lettuce leaves on a plate to serve as the base.

• 10

  Layer the cooked beef patty onto the lettuce, followed by the tomato slices and red onion.

• 11

  Top the burger with the hot, crispy mozzarella sticks and serve immediately.
