Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Mix all ingredients together.

2. 2

   Form 4 patties and place on a grill or griddle on medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Grill a few minutes on each side and turn. Cook until no longer pink in the middle.

4. 4

   I served this on a 9 grain ciabatta roll. Voila!

5. 5

   Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, 3-4 minutes. Stir the flour into the onions and cook 1 minute.

6. 6

   Whisk in the half-and-half, broth, salt, cayenne, and nutmeg. Bring sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, until it begins to thicken.

7. 7

   Add the spinach, stirring until wilted. Mix in the Parmesan and lemon juice, and add more half-and-half if the sauce has thickened too much. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
