Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 pounds ground lamb 1 egg
  • 1 cup bread crumbs 1 clove garlic, minced 4 1/2 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

Directions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Gently knead together the softened onions, lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 parts and roll into balls, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Mix together the goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined; cover and chill for 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  5. 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 the goat cheese mixture. Gently pull and form the meat patty around the cheese filling, making a burger- shaped patty. Repeat with each ball of the lamb mixture.
  6. Grill the patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and well done, about 8 minutes per side.
