Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free option, substitute the Pepperidge Farm bread crumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or breadcrumbs. If you want to add a bit of flavor, consider including minced garlic or chopped herbs, such as parsley or thyme, into the mixture. You can also replace Cheddar cheese with a milder cheese like mozzarella or a stronger cheese like blue cheese, depending on your preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these patties with a generous ladle of mushroom or golden mushroom soup poured over the top for added flavor and moisture. They pair well with a side salad or steamed vegetables like Ruby Broccoli for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, consider serving them alongside mashed potatoes or rice.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also use a microwave, but be careful not to overheat as they may become soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these patties for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the patties before or after cooking. If freezing before, shape them and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer bag. They will last up to 3 months. To cook from frozen, simply brown them in a pan, then finish in the oven until heated through.
What can I use instead of pecans?
If you have nut allergies or prefer a different flavor, you can substitute pecans with walnuts or sunflower seeds for a similar crunch. Additionally, you can omit nuts altogether for a simpler patty, or add in finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra texture and nutrition.
How do I know when the patties are cooked through?
The patties are cooked through when they are golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch. You can also cut one open to check; the inside should be hot and no longer wet. If you have a food thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
