Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces plant-based burger patties
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 8 slices pickles
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings. Set aside along with the lettuce leaves and pickle slices.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the plant-based burger patties with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until heated through and slightly browned. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or on a toaster until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half. Add a small dollop of mustard if desired.
Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion on the bottom bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by two slices of pickles.
Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately. Optional: Serve with fries, chips, or a side salad for a complete meal.
