Divide the chickpea mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion by hand into a round, flattened patty, about 1-inch thick.

Set up a breading station: Place the beaten eggs in one shallow dish and 1 cup of breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Dip each chickpea patty first into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then transfer to the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to achieve an even and complete coating on all sides.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (a small piece of breading should sizzle when dropped in), carefully place the breaded patties into the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
⏱️ 2 min
- 6
Fry the patties for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to carefully flip the patties to cook the other side to a similar golden-brown crispness. Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise or aioli on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a freshly fried chickpea patty on top of the sauce. Squeeze ketchup generously over the patty.

Add several slices of dill pickles and a heap of fresh shredded lettuce on top of the ketchup. Complete the sandwich by placing the top half of the burger bun. Serve immediately.
