1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped mushroom
1/2 small onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon thyme, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 hamburger buns

Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
2. Stir in wheat germ, cheese, mushrooms, onion, thyme, rosemary and zucchini. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Shape into 4 patties, 3/4-inch thick.
4. In a nonstick saute pan, heat the oil, place in patties, and cook until golden, about 4 minutes.
5. Flip, and cook other side until golden, too, about 3 minutes more.
