Mrs. Megamas is rarely stuck for an idea when it comes to doing something different and impromptu with ingredients at hand. Take the other night for instance: that morning, we’d taken out a pound of frozen hamburger to thaw for dinner but had no idea what to do with it. During the workday, Mrs. M. fiddled in her head with it, taking into consideration what other goodies we had in the fridge and cupboard. She came up with this little piece of heaven:
Fry up a slice of prosciutto in a pan (or you could use pancetta if you have it) and set aside. Make a burger patty using a quarter pound of ground beef and cook that in the pan you used to fry the prosciutto. When it’s close to being done, put the slice of prosciutto on top and lay over it a slice of mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid until the cheese melts. Remove from pan, add a thin slice of red onion, then spoon on 2 tablespoons of prepared bruschetta topping. Mangia (eat).
I’m figuring about 470 calories and 4.7 net carbs per burger. Fantastico!
