Goat Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers

Oh yes, you read that correctly. A delicious grilled lamb burger, with goat cheese inside. I have been craving Goat Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers for a good week now and finally managed to find ground lamb (which was surprisingly difficult for some reason) to make them. I used a recipe off of Finish Your Broccoli‘s blog that she made a while back to make the actual burger. I took some liberty in making it but for the most part it’s basically the same.
Goat Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers

 

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 3 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh mint
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Pinch cayenne
  • 4 oz log goat cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped basil
  • Tzatziki
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Pita bread or hamburger buns, toasted

Add the ground lamb, plain yogurt, panko, mint, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne to a large bowl.

Mix to combine.

Add the goat cheese, olive oil, parsley, and basil to a small bowl.

Mix to combine.

Take the meat mixture and divide it evenly into four patties.

Make a well in each patty and add an equal amount of the cheese mixture into each well.

Form the meat patty around the cheese mixture.

Heat a grill pan (or grill) and cook the burger to your liking. Because they are so thick, you might need to cook them long and slow.

Grill the hamburger buns or pita bread.

Top the burger with tzatziki and sliced cucumber.

And there you have it!

You bite in and get a really delicious, moist burger.

With a flavorful, gooey center.

Mmmm.

This is EXACTLY what I was craving. And it’s really quick! What more could you ask for?

    I just bought ground lamb (at my fiance’s request) at Whole Foods last week, and it’s been in my freezer waiting for the right recipe to come along. This is it!
