The Moussaka Patty Melt combines the flavors of a classic moussaka with the comforting goodness of a patty melt. It's a delicious fusion of Greek and American cuisines in one delightful burger.

Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef or lamb. 1/2 cup diced onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 cup diced eggplant. 1/2 cup diced tomatoes. 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese. 1/2 tsp dried oregano. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 slices of thick bread such as sourdough. 4 slices of mozzarella cheese. 2 tbsp olive oil. Butter for spreading on bread.

Instructions: Put olive oil in a pan and heat it over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onion dices and saut until the onions are clear. Put in the ground lamb or beef and cook until it turns brown. As it cooks, break it up into little pieces. It's time to add the tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the eggplant is soft and the other ingredients are well mixed. Set a different griddle or skillet over medium-high heat to get it hot. Each piece of bread should have one side brushed with butter. Spread butter on one side of a slice of bread and place it on the griddle or skillet. Add some of the moussaka mixture and a slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Put another slice of bread on top, buttered side up. Flip the food once to make sure it cooks evenly and cook until the bread is golden and the cheese melts. Each side should take three to four minutes. Take it off the heat and do it again with the rest of the ingredients to make more patty melts. Take each patty melt and cut it in half. Serve it hot.
