Burger au Fromage

Burger au Fromage is a delightful fusion of traditional French flavors and classic burger elements, offering a healthier twist without compromising on taste. This dish features lean beef, creamy cheese, and fresh vegetables, all nestled in a whole grain bun.

Ingredients

• Lean ground beef - 250 grams
• Whole grain burger buns - 2 pieces
• Comté cheese (or Gruyère) - 60 grams, sliced
• Fresh spinach - 50 grams
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, mix well, and shape into two patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
3. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Comté cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
4. While the patties cook, lightly toast the whole grain burger buns in a separate pan or in the oven.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun, then add a layer of fresh spinach, the cheeseburger patty, sliced tomato, and red onion.
6. Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your Burger au Fromage!
