1/4 cup chopped mushroom |
1/2 small onion, minced (about 1/2 cup) |
1/2 teaspoon thyme, crumbled |
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, crumbled |
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground pepper, to taste |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
4 hamburger buns |

Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
2. Stir in wheat germ, cheese, mushrooms, onion, thyme, rosemary and zucchini. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Shape into 4 patties, 3/4-inch thick.
4. In a nonstick saute pan, heat the oil, place in patties, and cook until golden, about 4 minutes.
5. Flip, and cook other side until golden, too, about 3 minutes more.
6. Serve with buns and your favorite fixings. Sean Donnellson recommends roasted red peppers. Olive tapenade is another possibility.
