Prepare the flax egg by combining ground flaxseeds with water in a small bowl. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
While the flax egg is setting, finely chop the cremini mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic; sautΓ© until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Add the mushroom mixture, rolled oats, soy sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well.
Stir in the flax egg and mix until combined. The mixture should hold together when formed into patties.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm.
Toward the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the vegan hamburger buns lightly in the oven or on a skillet if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a slice of tomato, the mushroom patty with melted cheese, and finally the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan mushroom Swiss hamburger.
