VEGAN CHEESEBURGERS
The new generation of vegan meat alternatives, such as Impossible and Beyond, are at their best when still medium-rare and juicy. Flipping the patties frequently as they cook ensures an evenly cooked interior and good flavor development on the exterior. To make the burgers vegetarian, feel free to use any good melting cheese, such as American, Cheddar or Swiss, but to make them strictly vegan, be sure to look for vegan burger buns, as standard supermarket burger buns frequently contain milk or other dairy products.

Steps:
- Divide vegan ground meat into 4 equal pieces. Pick up one piece, transfer to a cutting board, and use your hands to press and shape it into a patty about 1/4-inch wider than your bun. Repeat to form remaining patties. Put three fingers of one hand together, and press a shallow indentation into the center of each patty. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add patties and cook, flipping frequently, until well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the coolest part of the center of the patty registers 120 to 125 degrees for medium-rare, or 130 to 135 degrees for medium. Immediately add cheese slices to the top of the patties, and transfer them to a large plate.
- Dress bottom buns as desired. Place a patty on top, and dress top bun as desired. Close cheeseburgers and serve.
Tips:
- Use firm tofu. Extra firm or firm tofu will hold its shape better than softer tofu. Press the tofu before using it to remove excess water and make it more firm.
- Season the tofu well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the tofu, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the tofu until it is crispy. Pan-fry the tofu in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Use a sturdy bun. A sturdy bun will hold up to the weight of the burger and its toppings.
- Add your favorite toppings. Traditional cheeseburger toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and ketchup. You can also add other toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or cheese.
- Serve the burgers immediately. Vegan cheeseburgers are best served hot and fresh off the grill or out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Whether you're a vegan, a vegetarian, or just looking for a healthier alternative to a traditional cheeseburger, this vegan cheeseburger recipe is sure to please. The tofu is crispy and flavorful, the bun is soft and fluffy, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. Plus, the recipe is easy to make, so you can enjoy a delicious vegan cheeseburger in no time.
