FAQ
Q: How do I make sure the patties hold together?
A: The Greek yogurt and almond flour help bind the patties. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a bit more Greek yogurt or water to reach a patty-like consistency.
Q: Can I bake the patties instead of frying them?
A: Yes, bake the patties in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Q: Can I freeze these patties?
A: Yes, you can freeze them before or after cooking. Freeze before cooking by shaping the patties and placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe container once frozen.
Q: Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of dried?
A: Yes, you can use fresh mushrooms. Chop them finely and cook as directed without rehydration.
Pairing Ideas
These patties pair well with a Greek yogurt dipping sauce or a side of almond flour flatbread. Serve them with a walnut and hemp heart salad for a heartier meal.
Why It Works

Adjustments & Additions
Add-ins
