Can these be baked for an oil-free version?
We haven’t tried that, so I can’t say for sure! Please let us know how it goes if you give it a try!
A cheeseburger is a hamburger topped with cheese. Traditionally, the slice of cheese is placed on top of the meat patty, but the burger can include many variations in structure, ingredients, and composition. The term itself is a portmanteau of the words “cheese” and “hamburger.” The cheese is usually cubed, and then added to the cooking hamburger patty shortly before the patty is completely cooked which allows the cheese to melt. Cheeseburgers are often served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup.;

I adore veggie burgers. They are on our menu tonight, actually. We rarely eat meat at home, my poor husband! Maybe 1-2 times per week we will have chicken or fish but rarely do we eat red meat or pork, I just don't really like it so it's easy for me to cut out. And it's fun to get creative with meals like this!
Just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your blog and I'm happy I stumbled upon it. Love this recipe too, since you're absolutely right about most of us having to cut down on the amount of meat we eat. And burgers like this are certainly a very healthy and delicious way to cut down on the meat 🙂
Mmm…these look delicious! I love veggie burgers!! And I'm not a vegetarian, but I cut way back on meat a few years ago. Probably only have it 2-3 days a week now, which has been great!
I've been trying to incorporate slightly less meat in our diets too, but like you, I'll never give it up entirely especially since my husband is a straight meat and potatoes guy 🙂 I'll have to make these for lunch sometime when he's not around!
