Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 200 grams (cooked and drained)
• Grated Gruyère cheese - 100 grams
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Garlic - 1 clove (minced)
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Burger buns - 2 (preferably whole grain)
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1 medium (sliced)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork until slightly chunky.
2. Add the grated Gruyère cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
