Scrumptious Greek Lamb Burger With Feta Cheese

My husband adores lamb. (I love it too.) We have it for dinner usually as a special treat, and recipes calling for minced lamb are a favorite.

My favorite minced lamb dishes are: Keema do Pyaza (Indian), Shepherd's Pie (English), and Greek Lamb Burgers with Feta Cheese.

One day I hope to make it over to Greece and visit some of its beautiful islands including Crete. Moreover, whilst visiting I can imagine dining on the most delicious Mediterranean fare. For instance, I'm dreaming of gyros and souvlaki for the main course. After that, baklava for dessert and a strong Greek coffee to go along with it. Until then, I'll make do with transporting myself to Greece through cooking Greek inspired fare in my Texas kitchen.

These Greek Lamb Burgers With Feta Cheese Are Out Of This World Delicious!

These MOREISH burgers are heavenly! The lamb mince is delicately spiced with garlic, shallot, cumin and coriander. Fillings include thinly sliced red onion and cucumbers, baby spinach, and lovely and salty Greek feta cheese.

Ingredients for Lamb Burger

Most importantly, I hope that you will enjoy delicious Greek Lamb Burgers With Feta Cheese soon. Wash it down with some ouzo, if you are lucky enough to have it. 🙂

Notes

This recipe calls for 3 largish lamb burgers.  You can also make 4 smaller lamb burgers if you like.  🙂
The feta cheese can be salty, so go easy on the feta if you are watching your salt intake.  This burger goes GREAT with a shot of ouzo, the national drink of Greece!

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
