These juicy lamb patties hide a savory surprise of molten feta cheese in the center, ensuring every bite is rich and flavorful. Topped with a refreshing homemade cucumber-mint tzatziki, this recipe brings the vibrant taste of the Greek isles to your backyard grill.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped mint, lemon juice, and minced fresh garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and refrigerate until serving.
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground lamb with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Do not overmix.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a patty, place a slab of feta in the center, and fold the meat carefully around the cheese to seal it completely inside.
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked through (160°F internal temperature) and the cheese is soft.
Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes before assembling on toasted brioche buns with a generous dollop of the chilled minted tzatziki.
