For optimal tenderness, avoid overworking the lamb mixture. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have pickled red onions on hand, quick-pickled shallots make a delicious substitute. Ensure the goat cheese is well-sealed within the patty to prevent it from leaking out during grilling.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground lamb, garlic, mint, dill, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
02
StepDivide the lamb mixture into four equal portions. Slice the goat cheese log into four equal pieces. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)
03
StepPlace one goat cheese piece in the center of each lamb portion. Carefully wrap the lamb around the cheese, ensuring it's completely sealed. Gently flatten each portion into a 4-inch patty. (Estimated time: 7 minutes)
04
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to high heat (450°F to 650°F) or a stovetop griddle to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate or griddle to prevent sticking. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
05
StepGrill the patties until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) and the goat cheese is melted and gooey, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Estimated time: 8-10 minutes)
06
StepServe the burgers immediately on toasted brioche buns, topped with fresh arugula, a generous dollop of garlic aioli, and a scattering of pickled red onions. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
