Lamb Burgers Filled with Tangy Goat Cheese feature rich, juicy patties wrapped around a creamy, tangy goat cheese core that melts slightly as they cook. Fresh basil and oregano lift the savory lamb with bright herbal notes, while onion and garlic round out the flavor. Serve these burgers for a casual weekend dinner or a backyard gathering when you want something a bit more special than standard beef patties.

Lamb Burgers Filled with Tangy Goat Cheese
  1. 1

    Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Gently knead together onion, lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into six portions and roll each into a ball, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

  3. 3

    Mix goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined; cover and chill for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  5. 5

    Working with one portion of meat at a time, press an indentation in the center of the ball with your thumb. Fill the indentation with a heaping tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture. Gently pull the meat around the cheese to form a burger-shaped patty. Repeat with each ball of the lamb mixture.

  6. 6

    Grill the patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium or 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) for well done.
