How to Make Meatless Cheeseburgers

Preheat your skillet to medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites until frothy.
Add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 packet (1 ounce) of dry onion soup mix to the egg whites. Stir until well combined.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats until a thick, slightly sticky mixture forms. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
Gently shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on desired size.
Add the patties to the preheated skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Top with your favorite cheese and other desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.).
Serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns.
