1 small onion, finely chopped

0.5 teaspoon black pepper
07 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
09 -
60 grams shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred type)
10 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
11 -
1 egg (optional, for binding)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Slice the cabbage into 1.25 cm thick rounds. Brush both sides with olive oil and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
03 -
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and egg (if using) until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
04 -
Take a portion of the meat mixture and press it onto each cabbage slice, covering most of the cabbage while leaving a small border exposed.
05 -
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 71°C.
06 -
Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheese over each burger. Switch oven to broil setting.
07 -
Return baking sheet to oven and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
08 -
Allow burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and offer sour cream, mustard, or preferred dipping sauce on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
For easier patty shaping, slightly moisten your hands before handling the meat mixture.
02 -
Monitor burgers closely when broiling, as cheese can brown quickly.
