How to Make Vegetarian Cottage Cheese Patties

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Finely dice 1 medium onion (about 1/2 cup).
Grind 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) in a blender or food processor.
In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
Stir in 2 cups cottage cheese, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup wheat germ, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup ground nuts, and the diced onion.
Form the mixture into 8-10 patties.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
While the patties are frying, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/2 cup milk or water.
Optionally, for an enhanced sauce: Sauté 5 large white button mushrooms (sliced) and 1/2 large onion (finely diced) in 1 tablespoon of oil until softened. Drain on paper towels and stir into the soup mixture.
Place the fried patties in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour the sauce evenly over the patties.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
