Directions

Make the Whipped Feta

Blend all the ingredients together in a small food processor until it incorporates into a thick and spreadable texture with flecks of feta.

Mix the Burgers

In a medium bowl, mix the burger ingredients together. Form into 4-5 patties.

Cook the Burgers

Heat a small bit of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add burgers and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the inside of the burgers is fully cooked (165 degrees).

Brush with Butter

As the burgers are finishing cooking, brush the outside with the melted butter and hot sauce mixture.

Finish

Arrange your burgers on buns with lettuce and a shmear of the whipped feta. SO GOOD.
