Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Place the beans in a large bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until the beans are almost smooth, but still a little chunky. Add 3/4 cup of the cracker crumbs, the egg, thyme, salt, and pepper and mix well. Use your hands to form the mixture into 6 equal-size patties.
Step 2
Place the remaining 1 cup cracker crumbs in a wide shallow bowl. Dip each patty in the cracker crumbs, turning to coat evenly.
Step 3
Heat 1/8 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Fry the patties, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Drain the patties on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 4
Sandwich each patty, along with sliced onion and a dollop of mayonnaise, between 2 slices of bread and serve.
