Best Keto Burgers

Recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

For Patties:
10 oz (283 grams) ground beef
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For Burger Buns:
4 eggs
¼ cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp Greek yogurt
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt

Other:
1 medium tomato, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup lettuce, chopped

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape into four equal patties.

Heat some oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small microwave-safe bowl (ideally “bun” sized), melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave. Stir in 1 egg and ¼ of the remaining burger bun ingredients. Mix well and microwave for 90 seconds. Allow to cool before removing from the bowl. Slice into two equal pieces.

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. The mixture will give you 4 burger buns.

Arrange burgers and optionally sprinkle with some hot sauce to taste or add some sliced cheddar.

 

Additional tip:

To bake the patties in the oven instead of frying, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the shaped patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Be sure to flip the patties halfway through the cooking time for even browning. Adjust the time based on your oven and the desired level of doneness.

Instead of microwaving, you can bake the bun mixture in a lightly greased muffin pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
