Vegan Patty Melt

PREP TIME COOK TIME TOTAL TIME SERVINGS YIELD
10 mins 30 mins 40 mins 2 servings 2/3 cup dressing, 2 patty melts
NOTE
You can substitute sweet relish for dill relish in the Thousand Island dressing. You can also use apple cider vinegar instead of pickle
juice.
If your burger patties are frozen, thaw them before cooking. Alternatively, use plant-based ground meat and form your own patties.
Ingredients
For the caramelized onions
• 1 large white or yellow onion

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
For the vegan Thousand Island dressing
• 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon dill relish
• 1/2 teaspoon pickle juice
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the sandwiches
• 2 Impossible Burger Patties or other plant-based burger patties, thawed overnight in the refrigerator if frozen
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, optional
• 1 tablespoon salted vegan butter or olive oil
• 4 slices rye bread
• 4 slices smoked provolone, Swiss, or cheddar vegan cheese
• 2 tablespoons vegan Thousand Island, divided
• 1/2 cup caramelized onions, divided
• Sliced pickles, optional
Method
1. Cut the onion into half moons:

Cut off the ends of the onion and peel back the skin. Slice it lengthwise from root to end. Then thinly slice each of the halves so
that you have half moons. Use your hands to break them up. Finely dice 1 tablespoon of the onion for the sauce and set it aside.
2. Cook the onions:

Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once it is shimmering, add the onions and stir to coat them in oil. Cook them until
they are translucent and golden brown, stirring frequently to keep them from burning, about 15 minutes. (If needed, adjust the
heat so that they don’t brown too much.) Add the apple cider vinegar in the last minute and stir to deglaze the pan.
Remove the onions from the heat and set aside. Leave the pan to cool.
3. While the onions are cooking, make the sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, dill relish, pickle juice, reserved diced onion, garlic powder,
paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
4. Cook the plant-based patty:

Wipe out the pan you used to cook the onions.
Using your hands, flatten the patties a little and shape them to fit your bread.
For a mustard-grilled patty, spread a dollop of Dijon mustard on one side of the patty before placing it mustard-side down in the
pan to cook.
Cook the patties according to the package instructions. You can shorten the cook time by 1 minute on the second side since the
patties are thinner; it’s okay if they are a little pink in the center. Remove the patties and let the pan cool a bit before wiping it out.
5. Toast the bread and cheese:

Place a slice of vegan cheese on each piece of rye bread.
Si m pl e T ip !
Vegan cheese takes a bit longer to melt. To ensure it gets nice and gooey in the pan, microwave the bread and cheese before
cooking on the stovetop, just until the cheese is no longer cold and stiff, 10 to 15 seconds.
Place the pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once it melts, add the pieces of bread cheese side up. Lower the heat to
medium-low, cover, and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes.
6. Assemble the sandwich:

Remove the cover and assemble your sandwiches. On 2 slices of bread, stack 1/4 cup caramelized onions, one tablespoon of
Thousand Island sauce, the cooked patty, and a few pickle slices (if using). Place the remaining 2 pieces of bread on top.
Turn the heat up to medium and use a spatula to press down your patty melt and let it cook for a few more minutes, or until the
cheese fully melts and the bread is toasty but not burnt.
7. Serve:
Remove the sandwiches from the pan and cut them in half. Serve with more vegan Thousand Island dressing.
You can store extra dressing or caramelized onions in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
