  2. Grate half of the red onion and thinly slice the other half; mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
  3. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the grated red onion, garlic, half of the parsley, oregano, cumin, black pepper and salt. Shape into 8 thin oval patties about the length of a bread slice.

  7. Spread the mustard over the toasted bread. Top each slice with a kofta patty, a few zucchini and onion slices and the tomato slices.
  8. Scatter the mozzarella and then the feta over the tops and bake 5 to 6 minutes, until the cheese melts and bubbles.
