Gourmet burgers!


Hello everyone! Today I will be sharing a recipe for delicious feta cheese stuffed burgers with basil-tomatoes on top!
These burgers are great for summer days when you want to feel like you're eating an expensive gourmet burger but don't want to pay the gourmet price! Simple feta cheese stuffed burgers with a home made salsa on top will do the trick!
Here's what you'll need:
  • 4  Italian plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped (or one large tomato)
  • 1  tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2  teaspoons chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/8  teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove of garlic roughly chopped
  • 4-5 grinds of coarsely ground fresh pepper
  • 1  lb. ground beef top round* (or whatever ground beef you want)
  • 1 1/2  oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4  burger buns, split

Directions

  1. In medium bowl, combine tomatoes, lemon juice, basil, salt and pepper; mix well. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes to blend flavors. 
  2. Meanwhile, shape ground beef into 8 patties, 4 inches in diameter. Top one side of patty with feta cheese. Top each with remaining patty. Seal patties by pressing edges together. 
  3. Spray broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place patties on pan. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 3 minutes. Carefully turn burgers; broil an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
  4. To serve, place burgers on bottom halves of buns; spoon 1/4 of tomato mixture over each burger. Cover with top halves of buns.   hese burgers are delicious! I hope everyone enjoys them! Happy eating!
