Description
An irresistible recipe for Keto Feta Burgers topped with a creamy tomato sauce, delivering big Mediterranean flavors in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 small onion, grated and squeezed
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes or 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or coconut cream
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, crumbled feta, egg, grated onion, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into four ¾-inch-thick patties with a slight indentation in the center.
- Rest the patties in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- In a separate pan, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant, then add the cherry or canned tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and remove from heat. Blend for a smoother sauce if desired.
- Top each burger with the tomato cream and serve with greens or keto-friendly sides.
Notes
Use ground lamb for a traditional Greek twist or add herbs for enhanced flavor. For dairy-free options, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and feta with a plant-based alternative.
