Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Step 2: Form the mixture into burger patties of your desired size, ensuring they are evenly shaped for even cooking.
- Step 3: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach your preferred doneness.
- Step 4: While the burgers are cooking, prepare the tomato cream sauce by heating the crushed tomatoes in a saucepan over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Step 5: Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat and stir in a splash of heavy cream (optional) for richness. Serve the feta burgers topped with the tomato cream sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store leftover keto feta burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, gently warm the burgers in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to keep them moist.
- Serve your feta burgers on lettuce wraps for a refreshing, low-carb alternative to traditional buns, and consider adding sliced olives or avocado for extra flavor and healthy fats.
- For an extra burst of flavor, try mixing in some sun-dried tomatoes with the feta cheese before forming the patties; it adds a delightful tang that complements the tomato cream sauce beautifully.
