Prepare the bread

Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Pro tip: Use room temperature butter for easy spreading.

Assemble sandwiches

Place one slice of cheese between two slices of bread, buttered sides out. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.

Cook veggie patties

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add veggie patties and cook for 5 minutes per side or until heated through.

Pro tip: Ensure patties reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) for food safety.

Grill the sandwiches

In a separate skillet, cook the sandwiches over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Pro tip: Press the sandwiches gently with a spatula for even cooking.

Assemble the veggie burgers

Open the grilled sandwiches and place a cooked veggie patty inside. Add sliced tomato, avocado, and lettuce.

Pro tip: Customize the toppings to your taste with pickles or onions.
