Composed with a vegetarian patty as a burger, with The Laughing Cow® Professional Toastinette® Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and pickles.

Ingredients

For the zucchini patties

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 150 g flour
  • 2 eggs
  • a few sprigs of mint
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil

For the burger

Preparation

  1. Clean, peel and grate the zucchini. Place in a colander, sprinkle with salt and allow to sweat for 1 hour. Then, rinse well and dry wth a cloth, squeezing very tightly. Place in a round-bottom mixing bowl.
  2. Add the flour, eggs, mint, chopped  garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
  3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, drop in spoonfuls of the mixture.
  4. Press the spoonfuls down and brown for 3 minutes, then turn over regularly until the patties are golden brown. Set aside.
  5. Cut the buns in half and toast the inner side.
  6. Place a slice of The Laughing Cow® Professional Toastinette® on each bun (crown and base) and toast in the oven for 1 minute at 220°C to melt the cheese slices.
  7. Remove from the oven, add a thin slice of tomato, then top with the zucchini patty and garnish with pickles and a good-sized leaf of lettuce.
