3. Chill, covered, 2-3 hours.
4. When you're ready to cook the burgers, form the mixture into 6 4-inch patties.
5. If you're baking the burgers, preheat the oven to 350F and lightly oil a baking sheet.
6. Place the patties on the sheet, brush with a little olive oil, and bake 20 minutes.
7. If you're sauteing the burgers, heat a little oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
