Tips and Variations For Mushroom Veggie Burgers

Change up the vegetables that you add to your burgers, we like shredded zucchini, butternut squash or beets.
The mixture for the veggie burgers will be mushy and fragile and it’s important to form them while the mixture is cold. If you are in a hurry, place them in the freezer for about15 minutes
The best pan for cooking mushroom veggie burgers is a non-stick skillet. I typically use cast iron for most skillet dishes, however it is much easier to cook these on a non-stick surface.
Freeze your veggie burgers. Unused cooked veggie burgers can be frozen by placing them onto a parchment lined baking sheet and placing it into the freezer. Once the burgers are frozen, remove them from the cooking sheet and place them into an air tight container for up to three months. No need to thaw the burgers, simply reheat them in a skillet.
Vegetarian Version – This recipe is vegan, you can easily change it to vegetarian by using one egg in place of the flax egg and replacing the nutritional yeast with 1/4 cup of fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve your veggie burgers on a bed of field greens or on a whole grain roll topped with onions, lettuce and tomato.
