Notes

  • Preheat your air fryer before adding the burgers so that they cook through evenly.
  • Don't overwork the burger mixture with your hands as this can cause them to become tough and chewy.
  • Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the the juices redistribute.
  • Nutritional values are for the burger patty and cheese, with no bun or toppings.
