Lamb burgers stuffed with feta cheese and fresh mint combine Mediterranean culinary traditions with American classics. The tender, juicy lamb mince is infused with the aroma of garlic and mint, while melted feta adds a tangy creaminess. These burgers have depth of flavor and an amazing texture, where each ingredient plays its role. Serving them with warm pita, Greek yogurt, and spices makes the dish even richer and more harmonious. A great choice for a characterful dinner!
