Spinach Feta Burgers
My husband is Greek, and these burgers are a compliment to his heritage. We like to serve them with a tomato-and-cucumber salad on the side.

Did you know?
Feta is a salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally, it was made from sheep or goat’s milk but is now also made with cow’s milk. After feta is formed in a mold, it’s sliced, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta is associated with Greek cooking, “feta” comes from the Italian word “fette,” meaning “slice of food.”
