1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely minced
Instructions
1. Sauté onion and bell pepper in 1 Tbsp each olive oil and butter for 7–9 minutes.

4. Heat remaining oil and butter in a clean skillet.
5. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
