Notes

You can omit the egg to make this recipe vegan.

I like to use Panko breadcrumbs because Nick is allergic to barley.

If you can't find cauliflower rice with herbs in it, you may buy plain cauliflower rice and add herbs.

If burgers crumble while flipping, you can simply use them as a topping on a salad or bowl meal.
