White Bean Cakes

Meatless Monday is upon us again. What to do. What to do.

Pasta? No. Rice? No. Some ancient grain thing? Oh hell no. How about something different. Fried eggs are good. Eggs on top of burgers are one of the best things on earth.

How about a fried egg on top of a veggie burger. Yum. Plate on top of a peppery arugula salad with a acidic lemon vinaigrette, and boom. Magic.

Serves 4: Takes at least 1 1/2 hours, most of that time is resting the patties
