Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegetarian meat patties

- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the onions.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Add balsamic vinegar to the onions, stir well, and let them cook for an additional 5 minutes until caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Brush the vegetarian meat patties with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme.
Step 6
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
Step 7
While the patties are grilling, slice the tomato and prepare the burger buns.
Step 8
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Step 9
Place a piece of butter lettuce on the mayo-smeared bun, followed by a grilled patty.
Step 10
Top each patty with caramelized onions and a slice of tomato.
Step 11
Close each burger with the top bun and serve immediately.
