2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties and place them on a plate. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
