Prepare Bulgur Wheat:
- Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the bulgur wheat in a small bowl.

Steam Mushrooms and Onions:

-
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.
-
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.
-
Mix and Shape Patties:
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl with steamed onions and cornstarch.
- Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
