Goat Cheese, Honey, Bacon and Spinach Burger

Ingredients

• 1 Lupin protein burger bun (Can be replaced with a classic burger bun, which will contain less protein.)
• 125 g 5% fat ground beef (For the patty.)
• 20 g Goat cheese (Cut into small pieces.)
• 2 tranches Lean smoked bacon (Grill with the patty.)
• 40 g 0% fromage blanc (For the goat cheese and honey sauce.)
• 25 g Fresh spinach (Quickly wilt in the same pan.)
• 10 g Light mayonnaise (For the goat cheese and honey sauce.)
• 10 g Light ketchup (For assembling the burger.)
• Honey (Quantity not specified in the source; for the goat cheese and honey sauce.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the goat cheese into small pieces and place them in a bowl.

2. 2

   Add the light mayonnaise, honey, and fromage blanc to the goat cheese.

3. 3

   Mix, lightly mashing the goat cheese, without trying to make a completely smooth sauce. The sauce should retain a few pieces of cheese.

4. 4

   Cut the burger bun in half, then toast both halves. A classic burger bun can be used instead of the lupin protein bun, but it will contain less protein.

5. 5

   Cook the ground beef patty and the two slices of smoked bacon until cooked through and the bacon is well browned.

6. 6

   Remove the patty and bacon from the pan and let them rest for a few moments. This helps the patty release its juices onto the plate rather than directly into the burger.

7. 7

   In the same pan, quickly wilt the fresh spinach.

8. 8

   Assemble the burger in this order: bottom bun half, light ketchup, spinach, patty, goat cheese and honey sauce, bacon, then top bun half.
