Ingredients
  

For the Burgers
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (or ground turkey/chicken for a lighter option) Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • 4 ounces Feta Cheese Can substitute with goat cheese or ricotta.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients.
  • 1 medium Chopped Onion Try scallions for a milder flavor.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Add more for a garlicky kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Basil is an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Essential for seasoning.
For the Tomato Cream Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Or half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste Can substitute with tomato sauce, reduce amount slightly.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Regular paprika can be used if preferred.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Basil can be substituted.
  • 1/4 cup Feta Crumbles Omit for a dairy-free version.

Method
 

Preparation of Burgers
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, feta cheese, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into patties, about the size of your palm.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil if needed. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your liking.
  2. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the tomato cream. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste and smoked paprika. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and heated through.
  4. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Serving
  1. Once the burgers are fully cooked, serve them hot with a generous drizzle of the tomato cream sauce on top.

Notes

Make sure to mix the burger ingredients gently to keep the patties tender. If you prefer spicier flavors, add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the burger mixture. Experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste.
