Mama Gayle’s meatless meatloaf recipe was handed down to me from my ashram days. It is delicious. Instead of making a loaf, I form burger patties and bake them in the oven. Cornflakes, walnuts and cottage cheese serve as the base of this burger. I’ve updated and adapted Mama Gayle’s recipe for a slightly healthier version.
The whole combination seems bizarre, but it is so good.
Serves 4
4 eggs
1 C finely chopped walnuts
1 16 oz. cottage cheese, creamed or small curd
1½ C organic unsweetened corn flakes
2 T oil
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix. I make my own seasoning mix (see below)
Preheat oven to 350°.
In large bowl, mix ingredients well. Form into patties and place on greased parchment paper on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes and gently flip and bake for another 10. Stick a toothpick in the center if it comes out clean, it’s done. Give it another 5 minutes if not quite done.
Soup Mix Substitute
Mix 3 tablespoons dried onion flakes, 1 tablespoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, 2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
