Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, almond flour, chopped parsley, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal parts and flatten each into a small disc.
Place a few cubes of halloumi cheese into the center of 4 discs. Take another disc and cover the cheese, sealing the edges well to form a patty.
