Ingredients

• 2 vegan burger patties (8 oz) (225g)
• 2 vegan burger buns (standard size)
• 2 slices vegan cheese (2 oz) (56g)
• 1 medium tomato, sliced (4 oz) (115g)
• 4 leaves lettuce (1 oz) (28g)
• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (1 oz) (28g)
• 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (1 oz) (30ml)
• 1 tablespoon ketchup (0.5 oz) (15ml)
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (0.5 oz) (15ml)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (0.5 oz) (15ml)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
2. Place the vegan burger patties in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated through and lightly browned.
3. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover the pan to help the cheese melt.
4. While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion, and wash the lettuce leaves.
5. Toast the burger buns lightly in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden.
6. Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, and ketchup and mustard on the top half.
7. Place the cooked patties with melted cheese on the bottom buns.
8. Top each patty with lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion.
9. Close the burgers with the top buns and serve immediately.

Tip

Add pickles or avocado slices for extra flavor and texture!
