Ingredients
6 servings
- •1 teaspoon olive oil
- •0.5 cup diced onion
- •2 pounds ground lamb
- •1 egg
- •1 cup bread crumbs
- •1 clove garlic, minced
- •4.5 teaspoons salt
- •1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- •4 ounces soft goat cheese
- •1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- •1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
- •1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Gently knead together onion, lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Divide mixture into six parts and roll into balls, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mix together goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined; cover and chill for 5 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Working with one portion of meat at a time, make an indentation in the center of the ball with your thumb. Fill the indentation with a heaping tablespoon of goat cheese mixture. Gently pull and form the meat patty around the cheese filling, making a burger-shaped patty. Repeat with each ball of lamb mixture.
- Grill 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 read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium or 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) for well done.
