Make a Greek-style spread by combining plain Greek yogurt, feta cheese, fresh mint, lemon juice, and black pepper.

Mix the spread until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use.

Form the ground lamb into patties for the Smash Burgers.

Heat a skillet and place the lamb patties in it, letting them crisp up for 1-2 minutes before smashing them down.

Cook the smashed lamb patties for 3-4 minutes to form a crispy crust, then flip them over.

Add feta cheese on top of the flipped patties.

Cover the patties with a metal bowl to help the cheese melt faster.

Once the cheese is melted, stack the Smash Burgers on a toasted bun.

Add the prepared Greek-style spread, lettuce, and onions to the burger.

Finish with another spoonful of the prepared sauce and serve.
