These patties look like they would be a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a hard time coming up with creative ways to use them.

I'm going to try making these patties with different types of lentils. I wonder how they would taste with black lentils or red lentils.

The patties fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I didn't cook them long enough on the first side.

These patties were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but these patties were surprisingly good! The herbs and spices really helped to add flavor, and the mozzarella cheese made them nice and gooey.

These patties were a great way to use up some leftover lentils. They were flavorful and filling, and the mozzarella cheese added a nice touch of creaminess.

I made these lentil patties for dinner last night and they were a hit! They were so easy to make and they tasted delicious. I especially loved the crispy crust and the gooey mozzarella cheese in the middle.
