4 eggs
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 firm tofu block (454 g), grated
500 ml (2 cups) breadcrumbs
1 large or 2 small yellow onions, peeled and chopped
250 ml (1 cup) carrots, grated (1 large or 2 small carrots) Or grated zucchini
500 ml (2 cups) grated cheddar cheese
30 ml (2 tbsp) soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
9-10 hamburger buns
Your choice of toppings

Place oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 200^oC (400^oF). Oil a baking sheet or cover with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with a wooden spoon, except for the hamburger buns.
With your hands, make 9 or 10 patties about the size of your hamburger buns and about 2 cm thick. Place the patties on the baking sheet.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown. Tip: Use the cooking time to prepare your side dishes. Variation: Patties can be cooked on the barbecue. Make sure to oil the grill thoroughly to keep them from sticking.
Serve in hamburger buns with your choice of toppings (mustard, ketchup, relish, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.).
