Okay, my mom was looking through ALL of her recipe books/magazines and found this in one of her Taste Of Home magazines (I have tried it and it is really good!)
Cheesy Walnut Burgers ( they are meatless)
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 hamburger buns, split
- Ketchup or plain yogurt, optional
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients; shape into six 3/4-in. thick patties.
In a large skillet, cook patties in oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
To bake, place patties on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 12-13 minutes on each side, turning once, or until browned. Serve on buns with ketchup or yogurt if desired.
Yield: 6 servings.
Even though it says 6 servings, when my mom made them she said if she were to make them into 6 they would have been quite small, so she made 4 instead. I don't know that you could make it vegan because I think the egg is supposed to hold it together.
