Keto Caprese Burger Recipe

Print Recipe

A fresh and easy keto burger with juicy beef patties, melted mozzarella, tomato, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic. No bun needed—wrap it in lettuce or serve it in a bowl. Great for a quick lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the burgers:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

For the toppings:

  • 4 thick slices of fresh mozzarella

  • 1 large ripe tomato, sliced

  • A handful of fresh basil leaves

  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

For wrapping or serving:

  • 4 large lettuce leaves or 4 low-carb buns

Instructions

  1. Shape the ground beef into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick. Press a small dip in the center. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. Slice the mozzarella, tomato, and basil. Set aside.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil.

  4. Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side. After flipping, place mozzarella on top and cover the pan to melt.

  5. Build your burger: lettuce or bun, patty with cheese, tomato, basil, drizzle of balsamic and olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella for best flavor.

  • You can replace tomato with roasted red pepper or cucumber if preferred.

  • Pesto mayo makes a great extra topping.

  • Store leftovers in separate containers and reheat patties in a pan with a lid.
