Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces plant-based burger patties
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces brioche buns
- 2 slices sliced cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 small small onion
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the plant-based burger patties onto the skillet.
Use a heavy spatula to press down and smash each patty into a thin layer.
Season the patties with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until crispy and browned on the bottom.
Flip the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each, and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
While the patties cook, toast the brioche buns on a separate pan or the side of the skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup and mustard on the bottom buns.
Place the lettuce leaves on the bottom buns, followed by the cooked patties with cheese, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles.
Top with the other half of the buns and serve hot.
