Paul and I tried this burger for breakfast (don't judge, we were third shifters for many years). First off, the directions say to cook in a skillet or on a grill, not to bake or microwave.

I fried it in a little grapeseed oil and topped it with Daiya cheddar cheese.

Paul and I were in agreement. The burger is fairly tasteless, considering what the ingredients are. We didn't add anything beyond the cheese, and came away slightly disappointed.

The other thing that ensured we'd probably not buy them again was the nutrition facts. One four ounce party has 260 calories, 140 of which are from fat. It does boast 23 grams of protein, but also 16 grams of fat. I know some might not be too concerned about the numbers, but they're a little too high for us.

At the price we paid for them, it's very unlikely we'll be getting them again.There are four burgers to a box.
