Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 4 Provolone cheese slices
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. In another dish, mix the Italian breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Dip each burger patty into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded patties in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 6

Lightly toast the burger buns if desired. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, a tomato slice, and the top bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a simple salad.
