Burgers al Gorgonzola

Burgers al Gorgonzola are a delicious Italian twist on classic burgers, featuring rich, creamy Gorgonzola cheese that elevates the flavor profile while keeping it keto-friendly. These juicy patties are complemented by fresh herbs and served with a side of sautéed vegetables for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 400 grams
• Gorgonzola cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, add the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
5. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
