   • Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the bulgur wheat in a small bowl.
   • Let it sit for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.

2. Steam Mushrooms and Onions:

   • Steam the mushrooms for about 10 minutes until tender.
   • Separately, steam the onions until translucent, about 10 minutes. Keep them separate from mushrooms.

3. Prepare Rolled Oats:

   • In a bowl, add 1/2 cup of water to the rolled oats.
   • Let them soak for about 10 minutes until soft.
   • Drain any excess water from both bulgur wheat and oats.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a food processor, combine bulgur wheat, steamed mushrooms, cooked brown rice, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
   • Pulse 4-5 times until ingredients are finely chopped but not pureed. Aim for a coarse texture with identifiable chunks.

5. Mix and Shape Patties:

   • Transfer the mixture to a bowl with steamed onions and cornstarch.
   • Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.

6. Cook Patties:

   • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
   • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
   • Shape 1/2 cup portions of the patty mixture into patties using a spoon.
   • Cook patties for 2-4 minutes per side until lightly browned.

7. Bake Patties:

   • Arrange the cooked patties on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
   • Flip the patties halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

8. Serve or Store:

   • Serve the Veggie Burger Deluxe patties immediately, or let them cool and freeze for later use.
   • To reheat frozen patties, cook in a lightly sprayed pan over medium heat or on a grill over low flame. Alternatively, microwave for 30 seconds per side.
