Spanakopita Burgers

I woke up this morning craving spanakopita, but alas, had no phyllo (probably a blessing, since I’m trying to lower my carb intake). I did, however, have spinach, onion, garlic and feta. Ground beef, I decided, would accommodate these Greek flavors!

The process was easy (certainly much easier than working with fragile phyllo)—just a matter of mixing the ingredients with my hands and then forming patties to grill. The results? Slightly melted feta oozing out of tender and extremely flavorful burgers (which, thanks to the addition of olive oil turned pleasantly crisp on the outside). Additionally, thanks to all the extra ingredients, these burgers are BIG and quite filling. I will be making these again soon, perhaps with the addition of chopped roasted red peppers.

  • ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef $3.50
  • 1/4 tsp salt Pantry
  • several good grinds black pepper Pantry
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten $1.50 for 12
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oi, plus more for brushing the grill or grill pan Pantry
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped Pantry
  • 1/4 medium onion, finely chopped $0.50 for a whole onion
  • 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped $1 for a bunch
  • 1 cup (packed) fresh spinach leaves (kale or chard will also work well), chopped $1 for a bunch
  • 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled $3
Total Cost of Ingredienst: $10.50

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and use hands to combine well. Form mixture into 4 patties and transfer to a clean plate.

Lightly brush a grill or grill pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Cook burgers to desired done-ness (cut one open to check if it’s cooked enough for you) and serve immediately.

Serves 4.

Of course, like everyone else, I eat food that can be cooked very quickly, for example, sandwiches or something like that, but sometimes I take food – SPANAKOPITA BURGERS and fast food outlets, because whatever one may say, it is still tasty and attractive in appearance and I especially like it when I play on online casino bonuses https://jennycasino.com/casino-bonuses/ and I win in the slot games, the appetite at this time increases by 100%.
