5. 5

   Let mixture rest a few minutes then shape into 4 burgers. (This can be refrigerated for up to a day, but be sure to bring it up to room temperature before cooking or they'll fall apart when you cook them.)

   Cook 5 mins each side or until browned. Do not poke at them or they will fall apart.

9. 9

   Lower heat a bit and cook another 3-4 mins so that they firm up.

    Serve on buns as you like. Chutney is suggested. I'm a blue cheese lover myself. Voila!
