Instructions:

To prepare Cilantro - Lime Aioli:

  3. Add lime juice, egg, scallions, cilantro, garlic and bread crumbs to the same bowl and gently mix all ingredients together until well combined.

  4. Form four patties by hand by rolling into a ball, then pressing down until patty until it is about an half inch thick and set aside (Patty molds also work here.)

  5. Heat a non-stick pan and add about two teaspoons of olive oil.   

  6. Once heated, add patties to the pan and cook on medium- low heat for about 4 minutes on each side. Optional step: With about 2 minutes of cook time remaining, add pepper jack cheese to patties and let melt.
