Prepare the Patty Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, black pepper, egg, and salt. Mix everything together thoroughly until well-combined. -
Shape the Patties:
Take the mixture and shape it into equal-sized patties. Aim for about 1/2-inch thickness to ensure even cooking. -
Cook the Patties:
Place a skillet or pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the pan is evenly coated. Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, place the patties into the pan. -
Cooking Time:
Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side. Make sure to flip carefully to avoid breaking the patties. The goal is a golden-brown crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful. -
Serve:
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the patties from the pan. Serve hot with your favorite sides, or place on a bun for a delicious burger. Enjoy!
Advice:
- Customization Tip: If you’d like to experiment with flavor, try adding minced garlic or fresh herbs (like oregano or parsley) to the mixture. A little chili powder can also add a nice kick to the patties.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these patties with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp salad to balance out the rich flavors. You can also serve them with a dollop of your favorite sauce or condiment.
- Cooking Tip: For a slightly crispy edge, increase the cooking time to 5 minutes per side, but be careful not to overcook the patties, as this will make them dry.
