Lamb Burgers with Goat Cheese and Herbs

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over a moderate temperature. Introduce the onion into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and loses its initial firmness, taking around 5 minutes to achieve this.

Combine the onion with lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl, gently mixing everything together. Split the mixture into six equal parts and shape each portion into a ball before placing it in the refrigerator to chill until needed.

In another bowl, blend together goat cheese, olive oil, basil, and oregano until they are perfectly merged; cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare an outdoor grill by preheating it to a medium-high heat and lightly brush the grill surface with oil.

Working on one lamb ball at a time, create an indentation in the center of the ball using your thumb. Fill this indentation with a generous spoonful of the goat cheese mixture. Gently mold the lamb around the cheese, forming a burger-like patty. Repeat this process with each ball of lamb mixture.

Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, taking around 8 minutes per side to achieve this. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the patty, aiming for at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium or 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) for well done.
