Burgers al Tartufo are a delicious fusion of Italian flavors and keto-friendly ingredients, featuring juicy beef patties infused with truffle oil and topped with rich, creamy mascarpone cheese. This dish offers a gourmet burger experience that is both satisfying and low in carbohydrates.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 400 grams (80% lean)
• Truffle oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mascarpone cheese - 100 grams
• Fresh basil - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Arugula - 50 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, truffle oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, in a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with chopped basil and a pinch of salt.
5. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
6. To assemble, place a patty on a plate, top with a generous dollop of the mascarpone mixture, and add some arugula and cherry tomatoes on the side.
7. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the arugula and tomatoes before serving.
