Porky burger for low-carbers

Every now and then in this low carb journey, I discover recipes that make me go, “who needs carbs when you can eat food like this?” This is one of them. Another non-Asian food recipe coming your way.

This burger recipe was inspired by a cheese-stuffed burger video that I found on YouTube. However, I would recommend saving your carb quota by seasoning the meat with only cayenne pepper and a little bit of Worcestershire sauce and leave all the other ingredients out because cheese is already quite flavourful on its own and do substitute the bread with fried eggs.

Here goes a picture of the finished product — pardon the cramp plate because I really have very little platting skills !
