The secret to egg-free burgers
Hey, it’s me, Sarah from Cooking Frog, and today I have the pleasure of sharing this allergy-friendly beef burger recipe. The secret to make beef burgers without eggs is chia seeds and good quality ground beef. Although chia is used mostly for sweet-style recipes, it is known for making the best burgers. Once you use it, you’ll never return to eggs. 2 Tablespoons of Chia seeds are soaked in 3 tablespoons of water, replacing 1 egg. The chia seeds won’t add crunch to your burger, so don’t worry. My whole burger-loving family has given the seal of approval to this recipe.
The texture of these egg-free burgers is very nice and easy to shape by hands. They hold the shape perfectly, don’t crumble and are very juicy. This recipe works well for all kind of burgers, mini burger patties, big burgers and also if you need to make meatballs, they’ll do the trick. Also, this burger recipe is made without breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- 500g (17 oz) of ground beef, minced
