Begin by preparing the flax egg: in a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water. Mix well and set aside for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Clean and chop the cremini mushrooms into small pieces. Mince the red onion and garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed mushroom mixture, rolled oats, flax egg, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, thyme, and cumin. Mix until well incorporated.
Using clean hands, take portions of the mixture and form into 4 equal patties.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm.
Remove from skillet and serve immediately. These savory mushroom patties are perfect on their own, in a sandwich, or over a salad.
