Cheesy Plant-Based Patty & Sticky Onion Burger

• Thinly slice brown onion. 
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes. 
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water, then mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. 
• Transfer to a small bowl.

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, tomato & herb seasoning and a pinch of salt. 
• Shape beef mixture into evenly sized patties (1 per person) slightly larger than your burger buns. Transfer to a plate. 

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook plant-based burger patties until browned and heated through, 2-3 minutes each side.
• Transfer plant-based patties to a second lined oven tray. Sprinkle over Cheddar cheese.
• Bake until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.

 TIP: For even browning, gently press down on the patties using a spatula.

• Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
