Meatloaf is juicy when grilled fresh, but you can also make it ahead of time. Scroll to the bottom of the post to see the full recipe card.

• Make whipped feta cheese. Place all whipped feta ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides and mix well. Set it aside.
• Form into patties. Using your hands, shape ground beef into 6 burger patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

• Bake them. Set grill to medium-high heat. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side and then remove from heat. Add bread and toast for 1 minute. Set them aside.
• Assemble burgers. Spread 1-2 tablespoons whipped feta cheese on each bun. Place cooked patties on half of the buns. Top with cucumbers, caramelized onions and remaining bread. Serve and enjoy!

These Mediterranean-style lamb burgers are paired with sweet caramelized onions and can be served slathered with creamy aioli or served on sourdough bread.

• Change the spread. Replace whipped feta cheese with Roasted Garlic Aioli, Basil PestoOr chipotle mayo for more flavor.
• Exchange bread. Sliced ​​sourdough, ciabatta, or focaccia are all great substitutes for slider bread in this recipe.
• More ingredients. Add sliced ​​tomatoes, chopped roasted peppers, arugula, baby spinach or sautéed mushrooms for a heartier texture.
• Change protein. Use ground chicken, turkey, pork or beef instead of lamb for an easy variation.
• prepare in advance. Grill the patties and make the whipped feta ahead of time so you can just reheat the patties and assemble the burgers throughout the week.
