Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise 🥄
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise 🥄
- 1 Garden Burger patty (store-bought or homemade, as per your preference)
- 2 slices whole-grain bread 🍞
- 1 tablespoon vegetable spray (for pan and bread) 🌿
- 1 teaspoon garlic and herb seasoning (or your favorite seasoning) 🌱
- Optional: lettuce leaves 🥬
- Optional: tomato slices 🍅
Instructions
-
Preheat Your Pan: Start by preheating a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan with vegetable spray to ensure your Garden Burger patty doesn’t stick. 🍳
-
-
Prepare the Burger Patty: Once the pan is hot, spray both sides of the Garden Burger patty with vegetable spray. Carefully place it in the preheated pan. Allow the patty to cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches a golden-brown perfection. 🍔
-
Toast the Bread: While the burger is cooking, take another pan and preheat it over medium heat. Lightly spray one side of each slice of whole-grain bread with vegetable spray. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic and herb seasoning on the sprayed side. 🌟
-
Grill the Bread: Place the slices of bread, seasoned side down, in the preheated pan. Toast until they turn golden brown. Flip the bread over and spray and season the other side. Continue to toast until the second side is also golden brown. 🍞
-
Prepare the Burger: As your burger nears completion, use a spatula to cut it in half while it is still in the pan. This makes it easier to fit in your sandwich and ensures even distribution of flavors. 🍽️
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of fat-free mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Place one half of the Garden Burger patty on top of the mayo-spread side of one bread slice. Add your favorite toppings, such as crisp lettuce leaves and juicy tomato slices, if desired. Place the other slice of bread, mayo side down, on top of the burger to complete the sandwich. 🥪
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Ultimate Garden Burger Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot and fresh for a delightful meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious. 🌟
