Easy Greek Lamb Gyros

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Greek Lamb Gyros.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 275°F (135°C).

   While the oven warms up, grab a large loaf pan and give it a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation comes out easily later.

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, Greek seasoning, and egg.

4. Step 4

   Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together thoroughly, making sure there are no dry spots left behind—this is where the flavor comes from! Once your mixture is well combined, firmly press it into the prepared loaf pan, taking care to eliminate any air pockets for a nice, even texture.

   Now, cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil and place it in your preheated oven.
