Grilled feta and spinach beef burgers

Grilled feta and spinach beef burgers are a delightful and nutritious twist on the classic burger recipe. Combining the savory richness of ground beef with the fresh flavors of spinach and the tangy creaminess of feta cheese, this dish offers a unique and delicious dining experience that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

3 onions
16g
1/2 package spinach
140g
1 tomato
120g
12 oz ground beef (80/20%)
340g
1/4 cup feta cheese
36g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and finely chop the 3 onions.
- Wash and roughly chop the spinach.
- Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside for later use.
2. Cook the Spinach and Onions:
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Mix the Burger Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the cooked spinach and onions.
- Crumble the feta cheese into the mixture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
4. Form the Burger Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty, making sure they are about 3/4 inch thick for even grilling.
5. Grill the Burgers:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers.
- If you prefer, you can also cook the burgers on a stovetop grill pan by heating it over medium-high heat and following the same cooking time.
6. Assemble and Serve:
- While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
- Place a grilled patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Top with tomato slices.
- Add additional toppings as desired, such as lettuce, more feta, or any condiments you prefer.
- Cover with the top half of the bun and serve hot.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.

- When mixing the ingredients, be careful not to overwork the ground beef to keep the burgers tender.

- For an extra burst of flavor, season the ground beef mixture with your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, oregano, or black pepper.

- Allow the grill to preheat fully before cooking to achieve a nice sear on the burgers.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to the desired level of doneness (160°F / 71°C for ground beef).

- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Grilled feta and spinach beef burgers are a fantastic and flavorful way to elevate your burger game.
