5. Form patties, about 2 tablespoons each

6. Once all the patties are made and resting on a plate, heat 1 tbsp or oil in a saute pan over medium heat and saute the patties for 5 minutes on each side or until golden. Repeat with remaining patties and add remainder oil if needed. Alternatively, you can brush a baking tray with olive oil.
