   • Divide the ground meat into four portions.
   • Form each portion into a half-moon-shaped patty to fit nicely on half a pita bread.

2. Make the Garlic Butter:

   • Mash the garlic with unsalted butter using a fork in a small bowl.
   • Set aside this flavorful garlic butter mixture for later use.

3. Cook the Mushroom Mixture:

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add sliced mushrooms, chopped red onion, salt, and black pepper.
   • Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
   • Keep the mushroom mixture warm while you prepare the rest.

4. Preheat the Grill:

   • Prepare your grill, whether it’s charcoal or gas, for cooking.
   • Spray the grill rack with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

5. Grill the Patties:

   • Cook the patties on the preheated grill to your desired level of doneness.
   • For medium-rare burgers, grill for about 4 minutes on each side.
   • Optionally, cover the grill while cooking for even heat distribution.

6. Toast the Pita Bread:

   • In the last few minutes of grilling the patties, brush one side of each pita bread with the prepared garlic butter.
   • Place the buttered side down on the outer edges of the grill to lightly toast.

7. Assemble the Greek Burgers:

   • Place a toasted pita bread on a serving plate.
   • Lay a grilled patty on one half of the pita.
   • Top the patty with a generous tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese.
   • Spread a portion of the warm mushroom mixture on the other half of the pita.
   • Repeat the process to create four delicious Greek burgers.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve these Greek Burgers hot off the grill for the best flavor and texture.
• Accompany with a side salad of crisp lettuce leaves and juicy tomatoes for a refreshing contrast.
• Pair with your favorite Mediterranean-inspired condiments like tzatziki sauce or hummus for an extra burst of flavor.
