Mushroom Veggie Burger

These vegetarian mushroom burgers are as close as I've ever gotten to delicious meatless burgers. Mushrooms really give them a meaty flavor. I like to serve them on fresh hamburger rolls with spicy mayonnaise and a little lettuce.

Yield:
6 veggie burgers

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 3 (8 ounce) packages sliced fresh mushrooms

  • ½ medium onion, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ¾ cup dry bread crumbs

  • cup rolled oats

  • ½ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano; cook and stir until mushrooms have released their juices and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  2. Transfer mushrooms to a cutting board and clean the skillet.

  3. Chop mushrooms into small chunks, then transfer to a large bowl. Mix in bread crumbs and oats, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, then eggs; let stand until bread crumbs have absorbed any excess liquid, about 15 minutes. Use moist hands to form mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, into patties.

  4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry patties in the hot skillet until golden brown and cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes per side.

After Step 3, you can refrigerate the patties to cook later if desired.
