Instructions

In a bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, ensuring they are nice and compact to hold their shape while cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
Meanwhile, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet just until golden and slightly crispy, which adds a nice texture to the burgers.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun. Add slices of cucumber and generously top with tzatziki sauce.
Finish the burgers by garnishing with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Greek Lamb Burgers with your favorite sides!

Notes

Leftover cooked lamb patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the patties (cooked or uncooked) for up to 3 months. Reheat by grilling or pan-frying until heated through.
