Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegetarian burger patties
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 leaves Large butterhead lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 slices Pickles
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
Lightly brush the vegetarian burger patties with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and nicely browned.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
Meanwhile, rinse the butterhead lettuce leaves and pat them dry with paper towels.
To assemble each burger, layer two lettuce leaves on each serving plate. Place a cooked burger patty with melted cheese onto the leaves.
Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, pickle slices, and avocado strips.
Drizzle each burger with 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1/2 tablespoon of yellow mustard.
Fold the edges of the lettuce leaves around the burger fillings and serve immediately.
