  3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the Egg Replacer. Shape the dough into patties (2 per serving).
    4.  
  4. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties on one side for about 4 min, until golden, then gently flip and cook on the other side for about 5 min.
    5.  
  5. Transfer the burgers to the prepared baking sheet and cook in the middle of the oven for about 30 min, or until they are firm and cooked through on the inside.
