These burgers are quite fragile until after they are baked, so use extra care when flipping them for the first time. I found it works best if I let them rest out of the oven for at least 5 minutes before trying to loosen them from the pans. Use high-quality nonstick baking sheets for this recipe or line your baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
