👨‍🍳Method

Blend the Green Buns

2 min

In a small blender, combine the whole egg, liquid egg whites, fresh spinach, oat/coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Blend until completely smooth and bright green.

💡Blend until you see zero spinach flecks — the smoother the batter, the more uniform and beautiful the green buns will look.

Cook the Buns

8 min

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and coat generously with zero-calorie cooking spray. Pour the green batter into two equal-sized circles (you can use a silicone egg ring or a whoopie pie pan for perfect shapes). Cover with a lid and let them cook slowly for 3-4 minutes per side until they are firm, fluffy, and completely set. Remove and set aside.

💡Low and slow is key! Too much heat will brown the buns and kill the vibrant green color. Keep the lid on to steam the tops.

Mix the Lean Sauce

1 min

In a small dish, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, and a splash of pickle juice.

Form the Patties

2 min

Divide your extra-lean ground beef into two equal 150g portions. Gently press them into wide patties. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook and Ooze

8 min

Wipe your skillet clean, turn the heat up to medium-high, and add a quick spray of cooking oil. Cook the beef patties for about 4 minutes on the first side to get a great sear. Flip both patties. Immediately place one slice of light cheese on each patty. Add a tablespoon of water to the pan and cover quickly with a lid. The steam will cook the burgers through and perfectly melt the cheese so it drapes over the meat exactly like the photo.

💡The steam-melt method is the only way to make low-fat cheese drape and ooze properly. Don't skip the lid!
