A delightful twist on the classic burger, combining fresh herbs and creamy cheese for a flavor-packed experience.
Combine the ground beef, pesto, feta cheese, egg, onion, garlic, and parsley in a large mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Resting allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up for easier shaping.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Use a burger press for uniform patties that cook evenly.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates with olive oil.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking and achieve nice grill marks.
Cook the patties on the grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Let the cooked patties rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the burgers moist.
