Ingredients:
1 ý cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
ý teaspoon dried marjoram
Å teaspoon dried thyme
4 cups chopped cremini or other mushrooms
1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans

1. Preheat the oven to 350¼. Generously oil a baking sheet.

2. In a medium skillet, sautŽ the onions in the oil. Cook on medium heat until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the marjoram, thyme, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.

4. Shape the mixture into six round patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve on toast or in a bun.

5. Ketchup, mustard, pickles, avocado slices, alfalfa sprouts, minced red onions, and tomato slices are great toppings. Melt fontina or cheddar cheese on top for a cheeseburger.
