Ingredients

Scale

For the Burgers:

  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

For the Tomato Cream Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (divided: 1/2 tsp for sauce, 1/2 tsp for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix the Burger Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled feta, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this will help keep the burgers tender!
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a thick patty, making them about an inch thick. This size helps them cook evenly.
  3. Cook the Burgers: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness and form a nice crust. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, covering them to keep warm.
  4. Make the Tomato Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the pan (that’s where the flavor is!).
  5. Add Cream and Feta: Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring, creating a smooth mixture. After that, add the 1/3 cup of crumbled feta and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Keep stirring continuously until the feta melts and the sauce thickens slightly, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Combine Burgers and Sauce: Return the cooked burger patties to the skillet, spooning the tomato cream sauce over them. Let everything heat together for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Plate and Garnish: Carefully plate the burgers, spoon extra sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley, small feta crumbles, and a light sprinkle of smoked paprika for an inviting look.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot, and feel free to pair these delicious burgers with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh keto-friendly salad. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the burger meat to keep patties tender.
  • Use 80/20 ground beef for optimal juiciness.
  • Cover cooked patties to keep warm before serving.
  • Adjust seasoning of the tomato cream sauce to personal taste.
  • Pair with keto-friendly sides such as steamed vegetables or leafy salads.
