1 lb. of soft, cooked lentils
1 egg
A pinch of garlic
A pinch of parsley
A pinch of thyme
4 tbsp. wheat germ
1/2 c. chopped onions
4 slices cheese
4 hamburger buns

Drain excess water from lentils. Mix in the eggs, spices and wheat germ. Form the mix into 4 round patties and place on a cookie sheet. Top each patty with some of the onions and a slice of cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese has melted. Serve on the buns. (NOTE: soybeans, other beans, cashews, walnuts, or other nuts may be substituted for the lentils for variety).
