Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together pesto, lemon juice, eggs, and salt.
Add the beans and mash them with a fork, leaving some chunks remaining.
Stir in breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together.
Form into 6 patties. (I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop the patties.)
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
If you want to make a simple aioli, combine two tablespoons of mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt with one tablespoon of pesto. Spread on top of the burgers just before serving.
