Ingredients

• 1 cup Pecans
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 Yellow onion
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 8 Tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Roughly chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Add them to a food processor along with the toasted pecans, oats, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the egg and breadcrumbs. Mix to combine, then form into 4 equal-sized patties.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 6

While the patties bake, prepare the blue cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Assemble the burgers by layering lettuce, a mushroom-pecan patty, tomato slices, and a generous drizzle of blue cheese sauce.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your pecan and mushroom burger with blue cheese sauce.
