Make sure the lentils are not too cooked, this will cause the mixture to have a lot of moisture, if this happens you can add more breadcrumbs or all purpose flour.
Make the patties by using a cookie cutter or a lid, you can do it by hand too.
Preheat your pan, add some oil and then the Pattie, this process helps to avoid the Pattie to stick in the pan.
After you cook it for around 3 minutes each side or when it turns golden brown.
Toast your bread in a preheated oven 350 F for 10 min or golden brown, place an avocado, Pattie, Tomato and Microgreens.
Recipe Note
If you have a non-stick pan then avoid step number 7 above, just put some oil and cook your patties. You can also make the patties shape and freeze them, perfect for a heat and run meal. Avocado is a perfect choice for those who want to avoid cheese and still have that creamy part on the plate.
