Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Veggie burger patties
- 8 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 slices Rye bread or sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the yellow onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the oil.
Sprinkle the onions with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the veggie burger patties according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes per side, until heated through and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of half the slices.
Place one veggie patty on the Dijon side of each prepared slice of bread.
Top each patty with a portion of the caramelized onions and then 2 slices of cheese.
Close each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
