Calories: 326.8kcal
Ingredients
- 7 g Unsalted Butter (Vital Farms)
- ¼ Red Onion (sliced)
- Sugar Free Syrup (Mrs Butterworths)
- 1 Original Burger Patty (Boca Burger)
- 2 slices Seeded Protein Bread (H-E-B)
- 2 slices Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese (Jalsberg)
- 20 g Baby Spinach
Sauce:
- 20 g Nonfat Greek Yogurt (Siggi’s)
- 1 drop Mustard
- Salt & Pepper (to taste)
- ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
- ¼ tsp White Vinegar
- ¼ tsp Sriracha or Hot Sauce
Instructions
- In a small pan, add in about 1/2 of your butter and cook in your sliced onions. Stir occasionally and let it cook down for at least 15 mins. Around the 10 min mark, add salt and a dollop of syrup. Stir and cook until soft and caramelized. Set aside.
- Add in your burger patty and cook until brown on both sides. Roughly 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Mix your sauce ingredients together until smooth.
- In your pan, add in the rest of the butter and lay down one slice of bread. Layer with your sauce, spinach, 1 slices of cheese, your patty, the onions, another cheese slice, and the second bread slice. Press down, add a splash of water into the pan and cover with a large lid. This will help melt the cheese.
- Flip over once the bottom gets golden brown. Cook for another 2-3 minute until brown. Cut in half and dig in!
