Method

  1. 1

    Caramelize the onions

    ⏱ 20 min

    Cook the sliced onion in a little of the vegan butter over low-medium heat, stirring often, until deep golden and sweet, about 20 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the special sauce

    Stir the vegan mayo, ketchup, yellow mustard, chopped pickles and smoked paprika together until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the patties

    Cook the Beyond patties per the package instructions until browned and cooked through, then season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Build and griddle

    ⏱ 3 min 30 sec

    Butter the outsides of the bread. Build each melt: bread, cheese, patty, onions, special sauce, more cheese, bread. Griddle over medium heat until golden and the cheese melts, about 3–4 minutes per side.

Notes

Full indulgence at around 600 calories a melt. Griddle low and slow so the cheese melts before the bread burns. Rye is traditional, but any sturdy bread works. The caramelized onions are non-negotiable — they make it.
