Fancy a Low-Fat Cheeseburger?

Concerned about the fat content of your family meals? Worry no more with this healthy burger recipe.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 400g lean beef mince
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs (see note)
• 2 teaspoons American mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
• Olive oil cooking spray
• 4 slices (20g each) reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 4 multigrain rolls, halved, toasted
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 small cucumber, sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced

Method

Step 1: Combine mince, green onion, egg yolk, breadcrumbs, mustard and worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture into four 2cm-thick patties. Place on a large plate. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spray patties lightly with oil. Cook for 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes (this is because of the low-fat nature of the meat and the sauces tend to burn). Top patties with cheese. Cook, covered, for a further 2 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Step 3: Place roll bases on plates. Top with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, patties and roll tops. Serve. You could use a low-GI bread to make crumbs, as an even healthier option.
