2. Using clean hands, divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a burger patty, about 1 inch thick.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil.

4. Cook the burger patties in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

5. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in another skillet or toaster if desired.

6. Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked cottage cheese patty.

7. Top each patty with a tomato slice and your favorite condiments.

8. Finish by placing the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately. Enjoy the delicious and healthy cottage cheese burgers!
