Ingredients

• 4 pieces plant-based burger patties
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato
• 1 small red onion
• 8 slices pickles
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings. Set aside along with the lettuce leaves and pickle slices.

Step 2

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Season the plant-based burger patties with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until heated through and slightly browned. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 5

Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or on a toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half. Add a small dollop of mustard if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion on the bottom bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by two slices of pickles.

Step 8

Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately. Optional: Serve with fries, chips, or a side salad for a complete meal.
