- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (395 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: High protein
- Contains: beef, dairy, egg, gluten, mustard
Ingredients
- 110 g Hamburger buns
- 130 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 40 g Mozzarella, low-moisture
- 20 g Lettuce, iceberg, raw
- 40 g Tomatoes, raw
- 20 g Corn kernels, canned
- 20 g Peas, green, frozen
- 15 g Mayonnaise
Method
- Shape the ground beef into a patty a little larger than the bun, and season lightly.
- Cook the patty in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (74°C/165°F), topping with the sliced mozzarella in the last minute so it melts.
- Split and lightly toast the bun on the skillet.
- Spread the mayonnaise generously over the base of the bun, then scatter over the corn and peas.
- Add the shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
- Top with the cheesy patty, close the sandwich, and press it firmly with a spatula or heavy pan for 30-60 seconds so everything fuses together, in the classic pressed xis style, before serving.
