🥘Ingredients

For the Mushroom Patties

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb (450g) mushrooms, finely chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp flour
1 egg, beaten

For Serving

4 burger buns
lettuce leaves
sliced tomatoes

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
3Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4Stir frequently to prevent burning.
5Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
6Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and it has evaporated.
7The mushrooms should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
8Stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
9Cook for 1 more minute, stirring continuously.
10Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
11In a mixing bowl, combine the mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, flour, and beaten egg.
12Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
13The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
14If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of water.
15If it is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
16Divide the mushroom mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
17Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
18Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the patties are firm and golden brown.
19Flip the patties halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
20While the patties are baking, toast the burger buns in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking.
21Spread a thin layer of vegan mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
22Top with a mushroom patty, lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
23Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately.
