I wish I had a photo of the finished product- but the burgers looked so amazing that I couldn't spare one moment to grab a camera...I HAD to eat ma dinner ASAP! This is such an easy recipe and the prep time is relatively short.

I served the burger in a pita with sprouts, avocado, and hummus, and a dash of hot sauce. Hot sauce...that's the ticket!

What you'll need: 

-10 oz. chopped frozen spinach

-1/4 cup plain bread crumbs

-1 tsp red pepper flakes (if your so inclined...)

-salt to taste (a little less than 1/4 tsp)

-dash of pepper

-2 egg whites

-1 egg

-1 oz parmesan cheese (shredded)

-1.5 oz reduced fat mozzarella cheese (shredded)

-1 oz provolone cheese (shredded)

1. Thaw the frozen spinach in a simmering pot of water until completely thawed. Drain and press out all remaining water. 

2. Combine all the ingredients thoroughly and make 5 patties. 

3. Cook on the skillet about 4 min on one side, 4 min on the other side, 3 min on one side, 3 min on the other side. 

C'est fini!! You're finished! Enjoy on a pita or an open faced sandy :)

*you don't have to use all the different kinds of cheese if you don't want to. I just like to add different flavors. You could choose one cheese and use 3 oz of it!
