Add the prepared flax egg and olive oil to the mixture. Using a potato masher or fork, mash ingredients until they bind but still maintain some texture.
04 -
Divide mixture evenly and form into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick.

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface if needed. Cook patties 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
06 -
Lightly toast the burger buns just before serving.
07 -
Spread vegan mayonnaise or plant-based aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Add baby spinach or lettuce, a veggie patty, sliced tomato, avocado, sliced red onion, and additional toppings if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.
08 -
Serve the assembled burgers hot with your chosen side.
