Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, until lightly browned.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 9

Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise.

Step 10

Add the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, followed by two strips of crispy vegetarian bacon.

Step 11

Top with a tomato slice and some onion rings.

Spread one tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of the bun and place it on the onion rings to complete the burger.

Step 13
