Step 1

Rinse and sort lentils. Add to medium pot with broth and bring to a boil; cook on medium high for 15-20 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and lentils are cooked through.

Step 2

Transfer cooked lentils to a medium mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until combined well. The mixture should be moist (for more on this, check out the video in post + the FAQs for tips).

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400°. Using your hands, divide mixture into 12 balls, then shape into patties. Transfer patties to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. If melting cheese on top, remove patties from oven after about 14 minutes and add cheese; return to oven for 1-2 minutes. Serve by themselves or with English muffins!
