  1. Thank you for putting this recipe online! I've been making it for years, and this is hands-down my FAVORITE lentil burger recipe. If I want to vegan-ize this, I use either soft tofu or Ener-G egg substitute in place of the eggs and smoked cheddar-style tofu cheese. Always comes out wonderful, usually a celebration dinner at our house!
