Burger patties
    •    1 lb extra lean ground beef
    •    1 egg
    •    1 teaspoon dried basil
    •    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    •    3 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
    •    2 cloves finely chopped garlic
    •    1/2 chopped red onion
    •    1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
    •    1 tablespoon fresh mint

1. Pulse basil, oregano, mint, garlic, and onion in food processor until finely chopped.
2. Combine above substance in a large bowl with beef, egg, and breadcrumbs
3. Mix well with your hands
4. Form into patties (I made about 8 patties)
5. Brown each patty in olive oil for about 2 minutes on each side then place in 450 degree oven for 8-9 minutes (for medium-rare)

Toppings:
    •    Spinach
    •    Tomatoes (slicing them and letting them sit in rice wine vinegar while you're making the patties gives them a wonderful pickle-y sweetness)
    •    Diced olives
    •    Feta spread (see below)
