Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegan burger patties
- 4 slices Vegan cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 8 slices Red onion slices
- 8 slices Dill pickle slices
- 0.25 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or grill over medium heat.
Lightly brush the vegan burger patties with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil on both sides.
Place the patties on the hot skillet or grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are heated through and have nice grill marks.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt.
Meanwhile, slice the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in another pan for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomatoes and red onions, and set the pickle slices aside.
To assemble the burgers, spread a teaspoon of vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a teaspoon of ketchup and a touch of mustard.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then set the burger patty with melted cheese on top.
Add two tomato slices, two red onion slices, and two dill pickle slices on the cheese-covered patty.
Sprinkle each burger with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Finish with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
