Ingredients

Scale

Burgers

lbs ground beef or lamb

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp paprika

1 TB yellow mustard

1 TB Worcestershire sauce

8 oz halloumi, cut into 8 even rectangles

Goat Cheese Spread

4 oz goat cheese crumbles

1 tsp cumin

handful cilantro (about ½ cup loosely packed)

To Serve

4 brioche buns

1 cup homemade or store-bought tzatziki

½ cup garlic hummus

1 jar roasted red peppers, drained


Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef or lamb with the ground cumin, paprika, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Form 4 equal patties.

In a small food processor, blend the goat cheese, ground cumin, and cilantro until smooth.

Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat and cook the halloumi for about 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside. Add the burgers and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on doneness preference. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the halloumi on top and cover the pan with a lid. Remove the burgers from the pan and toast the buns, if desired, for about 1 minute each.

Smear about 2 tablespoons of hummus on the bottom bun. Top with the burger and layer roasted red peppers on top. Smear goat cheese on the top bun and then dollop about 2 to 4 tablespoons of tzatziki on top. Top the burger and serve immediately. Great paired with Greek salad and fries! Enjoy!
