Cook the burgers
Assemble and serve
Replace the egg with a 'flax egg' (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water). Ensure your burger buns are vegan.
Use certified gluten-free breadcrumbs and serve on gluten-free buns or in a lettuce wrap.
Add 1 finely chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the onion and garlic mixture for a spicy kick.
Mix in 1/4 cup of cooked quinoa or chopped walnuts into the patty mixture for an extra protein and texture boost.
