Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units vegan burger patties
- 8 strips vegan bacon strips
- 4 slices vegan cheddar cheese slices
- 4 units vegan burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 large avocado
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 8 slices optional pickles
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop pan over medium heat.
Brush the vegan burger patties with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook the burger patties on the grill or pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and heated through.
In the last two minutes of cooking the patties, place a slice of vegan cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, heat another pan over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil.
Cook the vegan bacon strips in the pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy.
Slice the tomato, avocado, and red onion into thin slices.
Split the vegan burger buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in the toaster.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each bun half.
Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a few slices of avocado, and the cooked burger patty with melted cheese.
Add two strips of vegan bacon on top of the burger patty, followed by slices of onion and pickles if using.
Top with the upper half of the toasted bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side, like fries or a salad.
