Notes
-
Fresh raw spinach works perfectly—just chop it small so it blends into the meat.
-
Swap mozzarella for cheddar or gouda if you want a cheesier, richer flavor.
-
To make gluten-free, use almond flour or gluten-free panko instead of breadcrumbs.
-
These patties freeze well—form ahead, freeze on a baking sheet, then store in a freezer bag. Cook straight from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cook time.
