Description

This easy, healthy weeknight meal comes together in no time. Grab a veggie burger out of the freezer, saute some fresh veggies, then bring it all together under a blanket of melted cheese. Skip the bun and nestle your burger on a bowl of balsamic dressed greens crowned with avocado. It’s perfect fast food!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms (I used cremini)
  • 1/2 of a bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, sliced
  • 1 veggie burger of your choice
  • 3 cups lettuce/arugula of your choice
  • 1 slice of cheese (I used havarti)
  • 1/2 of a ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette or glaze

Instructions

  1. Heat 1/2 of the oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, sprinkle with kosher salt, and saute until they’ve released their liquid and are nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add the rest of the oil to the saute pan. Add the peppers and onions to the pan, sprinkle with kosher salt. Saute until they are softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside with the mushrooms.
  3. Add the veggie burger to the pan. Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, reduce heat to medium and cover. After a few minutes, flip the burger and cover again.
  4. Once the burger is browned and heated through, remove the cover. Add the mushrooms, peppers and onions on top of the burger. Lay the cheese on top of the veggies. Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and wait for the cheese to melt into a delicious blanket over the burger and veggies.
  5. Add the lettuce/arugula to your bowl. Toss with the balsamic vinaigrette or glaze. Top the lettuce with your veggie burger. Add the avocado to the bowl. Dig in!

Notes

  • Any type of burger can be used! It will affect the nutritional values, but not the deliciousness.
  • Mix it up with different kinds of cheese, dressings and lettuce.
