- 4 slices slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 8 slices pickles
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup

Instructions
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brush the vegetarian burger patties with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are properly cooked through.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat.
Add the plant-based bacon slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are crispy.
Slice the tomato into 4 rings.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun followed by the cheesy patty, 2 slices of plant-based bacon, a slice of tomato, and 2 slices of pickle.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
