Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces vegan ground beef substitute
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices vegan cheese slices
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by making the caramelized onions: Peel and thinly slice the onion.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Meanwhile, prepare the patties: In a bowl, mix the vegan ground beef substitute with soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately the size of the bread slices.
In another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Once the patties are cooked and the onions are caramelized, it's time to assemble the melts.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread using the vegan butter.
For each sandwich, place one slice of bread butter-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat.
Top with one slice of vegan cheese, a cooked patty, a portion of caramelized onions, another slice of vegan cheese, and a second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Classic Patty Melt!
