Steps:
- Bring 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium-high heat in a large skillet or saucepan. Add spinach, cover, and cook until wilted and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much moisture as possible with your hands (or use a ricer to press out excess). Coarsely chop spinach and transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat oil in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron, over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but no color has developed, about 6 minutes. Transfer to bowl with spinach and let cool completely.
- Stir in flour, egg, nutmeg, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fold in feta. Form mixture into golf-ball-size rounds, then flatten slightly into 1-inch-thick patties. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.
- Pour a scant 1/2 inch oil into skillet. Heat over medium until oil shimmers and bubbles form instantly around a breadcrumb dropped in (350°F on a deep-fry thermometer). Working in batches, fry, flipping once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a level temperature, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; keep warm in a preheated 200°F oven while frying the rest. Serve warm, with dipping sauces.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef: Use lean ground beef with a fat content of 85% or less. This will help keep the patties moist and tender.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give the patties the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- Season the patties well: Don't be afraid to season the patties generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help them taste their best.
- Cook the patties over medium heat: Cooking the patties over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Don't overcook the patties: Overcooked patties will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve the patties immediately: Beef and spinach patties are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help them stay hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Beef and spinach patties are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy ground beef. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of side dishes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, beef and spinach patties are a great option.
