Horseradish Havarti, Marinated Red Onion, Lettuce, Tomato, Basil Aioli, Oat Bun

In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onion with vinegar. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Prepare the Marinated Red Onion

In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined.

Make the Black Bean Patty

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty.

Form Patties

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Cook the Patties

Place the cooked patty on the oat bun. Top with a slice of horseradish Havarti cheese, marinated red onion, lettuce, tomato, and basil aioli. Cover with the top bun.
