Ingredients

• 4 pieces vegetarian burger patties
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato
• 1 small red onion
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the tomato into 4 thick slices. Peel the red onion and slice into thin rings.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with yellow mustard and set aside.

Step 4

Brush each vegetarian burger patty lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Place the burger patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and heated through.

Step 6

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 7

While the cheese is melting, slice the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

Step 8

Spread a tablespoon of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Spread a tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of each bun.

Step 9

On the bottom half of the bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato, and some onion rings.

Step 10

Place the cheesy veggie patty on top of the tomato and onions, then gently place the top half of the bun on the patty.

Step 11

Secure the sandwich with a toothpick if desired, and serve immediately.
