Greek Burger

We recently ate dinner at a local burger place and my husband had a Greek burger with feta cheese, kalamata olives, and roasted garlic on top. It was very delicious and full of my favorite flavors so I decided to recreate it at home. I loved the chunks of roasted garlic, salty feta, tangy kalamata olives, and spicy pepperocini. The burgers were a huge hit with my husband and I (my children opted for plain burgers - their loss). These Greek burgers were delicious with my homemade Baked Onion Rings.
