I decided this evening if I went to Roadhouse every time I was craving their Spinach Feta burger I would be broke (they have my favorite feta burger in Kzoo...nom nom especially with onion straws the side) Although eating out would have been my preference, the dishes were well worth it. My creation turned out lovely and I had extras for lunch all week. This should curb my craving for awhile! This recipe makes 6 burgers.
1Tablespoon of soy butter or regular
3 cloves of garlic
3 green onions
5 cups of spinach
three eggs
Tablespoon of fresh dill
8 oz. of feta
1 cup of panko
pepper and salt
olive oil (for cooking burgers-optional)
1/4 cup of fresh basil
Sautee the butter on low, add garlic, chopped onion, fresh dill and three cups of spinach. Cover the pan and let simmer

Add two cups of fresh chopped spinach. panko, salt and pepper ( I did ten grinds. But I can never get enough pepper so add as much as you like!), crumble the feta cheese and add three eggs (I used two egg whites and one with yolk) mix well in a separate bowl. Here is where you can be creative. Add your favorite ingredients! quinoa, black beans, cous cous, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, egg plant or zucchini. This would also be good crumbled up on top of pasta with marinara sauce.
Add all ingredients together in bowl and mix. pour a tablespoon of olive oil on skillet and pack three burgers on skillet (my burgers were 1/2 size)
cook 3-5 minutes on each side of burger depending on how crispy you would like it.
While they are cooking heat oven to 400
After flipping burgers I baked mine 8 minutes.

If you have leftovers or would rather not do the burger route, these are very good as appetizers as well....I rolled my leftovers into small (tablespoon full) balls and cooked for 8 minutes (flip and cook another 4)
Enjoy!!
