Mushroom Swiss Burger (Low-Calorie)
A lean beef patty grilled until cooked through, topped with sauteed mushrooms and onion plus one slice of Swiss cheese, tucked into a whole wheat bun with lettuce and tomato. The reduced beef weight and smaller cheese portion keep calories low while maintaining the classic savoury mushroom-Swiss identity.
