The Aegean Lamb Feta Burger transports you straight to the sun-drenched coasts of Greece with every bite. This Mediterranean-inspired burger features savory ground lamb seasoned with oregano and cumin, topped with tangy crumbled feta cheese and sweet roasted red peppers, all brought together with a refreshing oregano-mint yogurt sauce that captures the essence of Greek cuisine.

What makes this burger special is the rich, distinctive flavor of lamb, which provides a more complex taste than traditional beef. The Mediterranean spices—oregano and cumin—add aromatic depth, while the feta cheese brings its characteristic salty tang. The cool yogurt sauce with fresh mint and lemon zest provides a bright, refreshing counterpoint to the rich meat, and the roasted red peppers add sweet, smoky notes. Fresh arugula brings a peppery bite that ties all the flavors together.

Perfect for adventurous eaters or anyone who loves Mediterranean flavors, this burger offers a taste of vacation with ingredients you can find at any grocery store. Serve it with Greek-style fries or a simple tomato-cucumber salad for an authentic Aegean meal.
