Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the onion and dice it very finely, then peel and finely chop the garlic.

2. 2

   Knead the minced meat firmly with the onion, the garlic, the egg, the breadcrumbs, the salt, the pepper, the dried oregano and the sweet paprika to a smooth mixture.

3. 3

   Crumble the feta roughly. Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and flatten each one on the palm of your hand.

4. 4

   Put a quarter of the feta in the middle of each patty, close the mixture over it and shape it into a flat patty about two centimetres thick. Rub the patties thinly all over with the olive oil.

5. 5

   Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C.

6. 6

   Lay the patties in the basket in a single layer with room around them and do not stack anything; cook larger quantities in two rounds. Fry at 190 °C.

7. 7

   Turn the patties carefully and finish cooking them at 190 °C until the core has reached 70 °C. Minced meat is never left pink, not even in the middle around the cheese.

8. 8

   Leave the patties to rest briefly so that the soft cheese does not run out at once when you cut into them.
