Lamb Burgers with Goat Cheese Filling

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lamb Burgers with Goat Cheese Filling.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small skillet and warm up a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Toss in some diced onion and sauté it until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take about five minutes.

3. Step 3

   While that’s cooking, find a large bowl and combine the sautéed onion with ground lamb, an egg, bread crumbs, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

4. Step 4

   Gently knead the mixture until everything is well blended, creating a deliciously fragrant base for your patties.

5. Step 5

   Next, divide this flavorful lamb mixture into six equal portions and roll each one into a ball.

6. Step 6

   Cover them up and pop them in the fridge to chill while you prepare the goat cheese filling.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, mix together creamy goat cheese, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, chopped fresh basil, and oregano until it’s all well combined.

8. Step 8

   Let this mixture chill for about five minutes to enhance the flavors.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to fire up your outdoor grill! Preheat it to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to keep those patties from sticking.

10. Step 10

    Take one of your chilled lamb balls and use your thumb to create a little indentation in the center.

11. Step 11

    Fill that space with a generous tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture, then carefully shape the lamb around the cheese to form a nice patty.

12. Step 12

    Repeat this for the rest of the portions, creating a delightful surprise in each bite.

13. Step 13

    Once your grill is ready, place the patties on it and grill for about eight minutes on each side.

14. Step 14

    You’ll know they’re done when they’re no longer pink in the center.

15. Step 15

    For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 130°F (54°C) for medium or 150°F (65°C) for well done.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy the mouthwatering flavors of these grilled lamb patties with a cheesy twist!.
