Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

Start with good quality ground pork.

Add salt to the pork for flavor and moisture retention.

Incorporate onion powder, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper.

Add miso for depth of flavor.

Mix in an egg yolk to help bind the mixture and add richness.

Use your hands to mix the ingredients well, ensuring even distribution without overworking the meat.

Weigh the mixture to portion out the patties, aiming for eight individual patties.

Form the mixture into balls and then shape them into patties using a three-inch biscuit cutter.

Drizzle a little neutral oil over the patties for flavor and to help them on the grill.

Sprinkle salt evenly over the patties from a height for better coverage.

Preheat the grill on high, then reduce to medium-high before grilling the patties.

Grill the patties for about four to five minutes until browned, then flip and grill for another four to five minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

Let the burgers rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices before serving.
