Greek Biftekia Stuffed with Cheese
Directions
- 1Start by grating or blitzing the red onion and add to a bowl. Then finely chop the fresh parsley and mint and add to the same bowl.
- 2Add the egg, breadcrumbs, beef mince and seasoning to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- 3Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and flatten.
- 4Place a cube of the Kefalotyri in the middle, and roll the mince into a ball to cover.
- 5Smooth the edges using the palm of your hand to form a flat burger shape.
- 6Repeat this with the remaining mince meat.
- 7Over a high heat, add the olive oil to a frying pan.
- 8After 2 minutes, or until its heated up, carefully place the burgers. (You can test if the oil is hot by poking a wooden spoon in the oil and seeing if it fizzes up around it.)
- 9Cook for 3-4 minutes on both sides (a total of 7-8 minutes) until crispy and golden.
- 10Once cooked, place the burgers on a plate lined with kitchen roll to drain the excess oil.
