Mushroom Swiss Burger (Low-Calorie)
A lean beef patty grilled until just cooked, topped with sauteed mushrooms and a single slice of Swiss cheese, tucked into a whole wheat bun with lettuce and tomato. The trimmed beef portion and modest cheese keep flavours classic while holding the savoury mushroom-Swiss identity intact.

Instructions
1
Prep
Shape the lean ground beef into a patty, season both sides with salt and black pepper, and press a shallow centre dimple.
2
Saute
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced mushrooms and onion 6 to 7 minutes until golden and liquid cooks off.
3
Grill
Cook the patty on a hot grill over medium-high heat about 4 minutes per side until charred and the centre reaches 71C with no pink, flipping once.
4
Melt
Lay the Swiss slice on the patty during the last minute on the grill and cover loosely until the cheese softens and slumps over the edges.
5
Plate
Stack lettuce, tomato, the cheese-topped patty and the mushroom-onion mix in the whole wheat bun, then serve immediately while the cheese is molten.
