If you don&#8217;t have any whey, soak the beans in water or just use canned beans instead. Then, I cooked them in a pressure cooked for 30 minutes.  <\/li><li>Drain off as much water from the cooked (or canned) beans as possible.<\/li><li>Place beans in a skillet and cook on high heat stirring occasionally.  Doing so will further dry the beans.<\/li><li>Transfer beans and the rest of the burger ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined.<\/li><li>If you are using halloumi cheese, cut into 10 g slices.  Then, add some oil to a cast iron pan and cook the cheese until both sides are golden brown.<br \/><br \/>If you are using a different type of cheese, you can skip this step and proceed to Step 6.<\/li><li>Make two 40 g balls of black bean mixture.<\/li><li>Add high heat oil to a cast iron pan.  Set to high heat.<\/li><li>Once the pan is hot, place the black bean balls in the pan, with some separation between the balls.<\/li><li>Place wax paper on top of one ball and press down with a spatula until flat.  Remove wax paper and repeat with the other ball.<\/li><li>Cook for a few minutes until seared on the outside.  Flip and sear the other side.<\/li><li>Place 10 g of cheese on top of one burger and sandwich between the two burgers.  Heat to warm.<\/li><li>Toast English Muffin.<\/li><li>Place both burgers and cheese on English muffin and top with tomato salad.<\/li><li>Continue process with the rest of the mixture. <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"dr-block-nutrition\" class=\"dr-nutrition-facts\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dr-title-wrap\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dr-title dr-print-block-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Nutrition Facts<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dr-nutrition-list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dr-nutrition-label\"><p>Serving Size <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\" data-labeltype=\"servingSize\">1 double burger<\/strong><\/p><p>Servings <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\" data-labeltype=\"servings\">10<\/strong><\/p><hr class=\"dr-nut-hr\"  \/><dl><dt><strong class=\"dr-nut-heading\">Amount Per Serving<\/strong><\/dt><section class=\"dr-clearfix\"><dt><strong>Calories<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">327<\/strong><\/dt><\/section><dt class=\"dr-nut-spacer\" ><\/dt><dt class=\"dr-nut-no-border\"><strong class=\"dr-nut-heading dr-nut-right\">% Daily Value *<\/strong><\/dt><section class=\"dr-clearfix\"><dt><strong>Total Fat<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">8<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">g<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">13<\/span>%<\/strong><dl><dt><strong>Saturated Fat<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">2<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">g<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">10<\/span>%<\/strong><\/dt><\/dl><\/dt><dt><strong>Cholesterol<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">19<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">mg<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">7<\/span>%<\/strong><\/dt><dt><strong>Potassium<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">221<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">mg<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">7<\/span>%<\/strong><\/dt><dt><strong>Total Carbohydrate<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">45<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">g<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">15<\/span>%<\/strong><dl><dt><strong>Dietary Fiber<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">12<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">g<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">48<\/span>%<\/strong><\/dt><\/dl><dl><dt><strong>Sugars<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">3<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">g<\/strong><\/dt><\/dl><\/dt><dt><strong>Protein<\/strong> <strong class=\"dr-nut-label\">14<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-label dr-nut-measurement\">g<\/strong><strong class=\"dr-nut-right\"><span class=\"dr-nut-percent\">29<\/span>%<\/strong><\/dt><\/section><\/dl><hr class=\"dr-nut-hr\"  \/><p class=\"dr-daily-value-text\">* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
