The recipe looks fine. Just wanted to remind our members that "low carb" isn't a goal of SBD. But these burgers look fine for any phase.

The cheese should be low-fat.

This is okay for p1, but on p2, which represents the bulk of the plan, you can start using a whole grain option-- we use dinner rolls that are about the right size for a grain serving and fit a little burger like this quite nicely. (A non-grain bun like this would work for p2 if you're already having a different starch serving in that meal, or if you're using up all of your daily starch servings at other meals/snacks.)

Btw, even in phase 2, eating a lot of vegetables is still important. Using portabella mushroom caps in place of a bun for a hamburger, or a crust for a pizza, is one way to do that. But of course if you prefer a whole-grain bun in phase 2, that's fine too.
