Veggie burger – crispy & healthy

For this delicious burger I am using halloumi cheese – it is high in protein, soy free and perfect if you want to prepare a vegetarian burger. The sauce consists of greek yogurt, which is also rich in protein and is a healthy alternative to mayonnaise. It also has less calories in comparison to mayonnaise.
I really like crispy patties in a burger – and normally they are prepared with meat. Swapping meat for cheese and covering it with crispy cornflake breading is incredibly easy and delicious. While the cheese in a patty melts inside and outside you have this crispy breading – a perfect patty for a burger.

To make the breading extra crispy it is best to use corn flakes that are crushed in a blender. One important thing to look for are the ingredients in the cornflakes you are using. They should not be sweet and contain any sugar – if not the breading could not work.

Ingredients
  

  • A piece of halloumi mine is around 75 g
  • 30 g tomatoes

  • a piece of cheddar cheese

For Breading

Sauce

  • 50 g greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Prepare the sauce first: mix 50 g greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, ⅛ tsp garlic, ¼ tsp chilli powder and ¼ tsp dijon mustard.
  • Crush 10 g of cornflakes (unsweetened) in a blender.
  • Put halloumi in the flour, then in the egg, then in the crushed cornflakes. Fry on medium heat under the lid until ready.
