Greek lamb sliders with Tzatziki sauce are perfect as a delicious appetizer or main dish. A topping of feta cheese and grilled onions gives them an extra punch of flavor.
I think lamb beats out beef by a whisker…or maybe a hoof, flavor-wise, in my book. I had a Greek lamb burger last week and had to re-create it at home. Instead of full-sized burgers, I decided to try sliders instead.
I just started working part-time for a catering company, and since I’ve been reviewing menus and tasting bite sized foods, I’m thinking “small” lately. I prefer my lamb on the medium rare side for the best flavor. I topped each slider with homemade Tzatziki, grilled onions and feta cheese. I hand-cut some potatoes, tossed them with olive oil and Greek seasoning and baked them to go on the side. But these Crispy Roasted Potatoes either plain or with Greek seasonings and feta would be great too!
I hope you try and enjoy these Greek lamb sliders!

Fabulous! I prefer lamb over beef as well, but it’s harder to come by where I live…

These sound so good Cynthia. My hubby would love them. I keep telling him I am going to make lamb burgers but haven’t done it yet. I especially love the grilled onions – that would be his favorite part too.
