This looks really good. I like that it's something that I can make at a moment's notice, assuming I've bought mushrooms, since everything else is always on hand. That, and it's very healthy. What would you use for a binder if you don't use the egg?

It might be a bit unusual but I also did it with mashed avocadosv for a vegan friend instead of eggs and it worked!
I only didn't like the color
