Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegan burger patties
- 4 pieces Vegan cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 8 slices Pickles
- 1 small, sliced into rings Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter or oil.
Step 2
Season the vegan burger patties with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Cook the patties in the heated pan for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and crisp on the outside.
Step 4
In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 5
Meanwhile, slice the hamburger buns in half and butter them with remaining vegan butter or lightly oil the cut sides.
Step 6
Using a separate pan, slightly toast the buns, cut side down, until golden brown. This should take about 2 minutes.
Step 7
On each bottom bun, spread about 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise.
Step 8
Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a cooked vegan patty with melted cheese.
Step 9
Top the patties with tomato slices, pickle slices, and onion rings as desired.
Step 10
Spread about 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top halves of the buns.
Step 11
Assemble the burgers by placing the top halves of the buns over everything and serve immediately.
