Mediterranean Feta Burgers
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 red onion, minced
  • 1 3/4 pounds ground beef
  • 1/4 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1 1/2 cups crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1 large heirloom tomato, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 8 leaves green leaf lettuce leaves
  • 8 Kaiser rolls, split
Instructions
1
Combine cream cheese, 1 clove minced garlic, basil, and dill in a medium-sized bowl. Cover it with a lid and set it aside for the moment.
2
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up. Then cook 1 clove minced garlic and onion for a period of time ranging from 4 to 6 minutes, or until they become translucent. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool down.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, making sure the grate is lightly oiled in preparation. While the grill is warming up, gently combine the cooked garlic and onion, ground beef, pork sausage, feta cheese, red wine, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Be careful not to overmix the meat mixture. Divide it into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a patty.
4
Once the grill is ready, cook the patties on it for 5 to 10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Meanwhile, toast the split buns on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of cheese and herb spread on both the top and bottom halves of each roll. Place the patties on the bottom half of the rolls, followed by a slice of tomato, sliced red onion, and a leaf of lettuce on each burger. Add the roll tops to complete the burgers and serve them immediately.
