Ingredients

• Ground beef - 400 grams
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Lettuce - 2 leaves

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty and place 25 grams of crumbled feta in the center of two patties. Top with the remaining two patties and seal the edges tightly to form stuffed burgers.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the stuffed burgers and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns on a separate skillet or grill until golden brown.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked burger, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
