Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 4 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- Optional topping: Cucumber slices or tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape them into burger patties about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the surface with olive oil.
Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without pressing down. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle about 1 ounce of crumbled feta cheese on each burger patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to slightly melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Assemble each burger by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with feta cheese.
Top each burger with a slice of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and optional cucumber slices or a dollop of tzatziki sauce for extra flavor.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet Feta Cheeseburger!
