Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Wrap tofu in paper towels and gently press out excess water. Chop finely. Place in a bowl and mash with a spatula or potato masher until smooth. Add salt, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, thyme, and basil; mix evenly. Mix in eggs until combined. Pour in bread crumbs slowly and mix well. Form mixture into 4 patties.

Step 3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in the hot oil until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not cook all the way through. Place patties on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until firm and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool and serve on buns.
