Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground duck
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Lime
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a large bowl, combine the ground duck, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Remove and set aside.
For the cheese crisps, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 equally spaced mounds of grated cheddar cheese, each about 50 grams, on the sheet. Flatten them slightly.
Bake the cheese crisps in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and slightly crisp. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet until firm.
While the cheese crisps cool, slice the avocado and sprinkle with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to prevent browning.
To assemble the burgers: place one cheese crisp on a plate. Top with a lettuce leaf, a duck patty, slices of avocado, another lettuce leaf, and finally, cover with a second cheese crisp.
Repeat the assembling process for the remaining duck patties and serve immediately.
