Grilled burgers with feta and fried red onions are a refined take on the classic American dish with Mediterranean notes. Juicy ground beef enriched with aromatic oregano and tender feta cheese gives the burger softness and rich flavor. Fried red onions add a light caramel sweetness and spiciness, while garlic butter gives the buns an appetizing crispy crust. The grill enhances the aromas and makes each ingredient even more intense. Perfect for summer barbecues or cozy evenings with friends, this burger promises unforgettable gastronomic experiences. Serve it with fresh tomatoes, crispy buns, and a glass of chilled drink to enjoy its perfection.
