Greek style burgers filled with spinach and feta is our second fun burger to try this week.
I am not very adventurous when it comes to cheese. I like the basics:
mozzarella, Parmesan, cheddar, American, Swiss. Now, anything with mold
or a fancy stinky cheese is not something I go for at all. I consider
feta cheese adventurous in my book. :)
I bought some feta cheese
recently and then I realized that I better find a recipe to use it up
before it became a moldy stinky cheese. I decided to make a Greek
style burger and this is what I came up with... kind of like a burger
meets a spanakopita.
