Cheeseburger Loaf
Directions
For the dough;
1. Simmer about 2 inches of water in the lower part of a double boiler using high heat.
Turn heat to low.
2. In the top part of the double boiler (while not over the water), whisk together the al-
mond flour, xanthan gum and baking powder. Stir in egg. Mixture will be very thick.
Stir in the mozzarella cheese.
3. Place the top part of the double boiler containing the almond flour and mozzarella
mixture over the bottom part with the simmering water. Heat the mixture, stirring fre-
quently, until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes a dough-like ball. Be care-
ful not to burn yourself with the hot bowl or the steam escaping from the bottom
part of the double boiler. I use a silicone mitt to hold the bowl while I stir.
4. Transfer the mozzarella dough to a piece of parchment paper. Knead it several
times to incorporate any stray almond flour into the dough and completely mix the
cheese and the almond flour. Pat the dough into an oval shape. Cover the dough
with a second piece of parchment and roll out into an oblong shape about 12 inch-
es by 15 inches. While rolling the dough out, you may need to straighten the top
parchment, then flip the dough over and straighten the bottom parchment. This
prevents wrinkles in the dough.
For the assembly:
1. Spread the ground beef mixture along the middle third of the dough lengthwise, be-
ing careful to leave about one third of the dough on both sides. Squirt a few table-
spoons of mustard over the ground beef. Layer the red onions and dill pickle slices
over the mustard. Top the mixture with the cheddar cheese.
2. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling and seal together with your fingers. If de-
sired crimp the seal with your fingers as you would the edge of a pie. Pinch the ends
of the pastry together. If desired, decorate the ends but pushing down with a fork.
Using a sharp knife, pierce the dough in several places to create holes for the steam
to release during baking.
3. Using the parchment paper under the loaf to assist you, slide the loaf onto a baking
sheet. Place the loaf in the oven. Bake in preheated oven for 25- 30 minutes or until
it is golden brown. Let loaf cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer it to a
cutting board using the parchment. Gently remove parchment from underneath, if
desired. Tearing the parchment will make this process easier. Slice & serve hot.

Quarter Pounder
Ingredients Directions

• 1/2 lbs ground beef 1) Knead (press, fold and stretch) your meat for about
3 minutes. This is important because it makes the
• 1 tbsp sliced pickled jalapenos
meat very sticky and keeps it together when add-
• 1 tbsp keto mayo ing all your ingredients to it.

• 1/4 onion 2) Dice and chop your ingredients very finely so they
don’t prevent the meat from sticking to itself.
• 1 tbsp sriracha
3) Add your diced ingredients, sauces (mayo and
• 1 egg sriracha recommended), egg (optional) and spic-
• 2 tbsp butter es to the meat and knead it again for a few
minutes to ensure a uniform consistency of ingredi-
• 2 leaves lettuce
ents.
4) Split your ball of meat in half twice and flatten
Spices each of the 4 pieces to make very flat patties. Add
a tablespoon of butter to the center of two of the
• 1/2 tsps salt
pieces of meat and then slap on the non-buttered
• 1/2 tsps crushed red pepper pieces! Seal up the sides so you end up with 2 nice
patties ready for grilling. You can make your patties
• 1/4 tsps cayenne
thicker for a more medium rare burger.
• 1/2 tsps basil
5) Throw your patties on the pan (or grill!). If you want
delicious, caramelized onions, throw your onions on
when you flip your burgers after 5 minutes.

6) Flip your onions midway so they cook well on both


sides. Your burger should be ready after 5 minutes
on the second side.
7) Lay out a two big pieces of lettuce with a spread
of mayo and place your juicy patties on them. Top
each with your choice of toppings! I added cara-
melized onions, sriracha, a sliced of tomato, sliced
jalapeños and more mayo! Cheese and ketchup
are welcome for the more traditional burger.
