Cheesy Plant-Based Burgers

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. 

• Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Transfer to a small bowl.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook plant-based burger patties until browned and heated through, 2-3 minutes each side.TIP: For even browning, gently press down on the patties using a spatula.

• Transfer plant-based burger patties to a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Bake until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves (reserve a handful for the burgers!) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. Little cooks: Help sprinkle the cheese over the patties (be careful, the patties are hot!).
