The Greek Feta Burger combines the savory flavors of ground beef with the tangy richness of feta cheese, offering a delightful twist on the classic American burger. Topped with fresh vegetables and a zesty yogurt sauce, this dish is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Feta cheese - 75 grams, crumbled
