How to Prepare Cheesy Eggplant Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. For the sauce, mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and refrigerate.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large-sized frying pan and add the eggplant cubes. Cook until soft. Place in a medium-sized bowl and mash until you have a soft paste (alternatively put in a blender for 1-2 minutes). Add the onion, vegan cheese, garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs. Add salt and pepper according to your taste. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  3. Wet your hands and form 4 equal patties from the eggplant mixture.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium-sized frying pan and place the eggplant patties inside. Cook on each side until crispy and golden brown.
  5. Cut the burger buns in half and place in the oven for 5 minutes at 210°F.
  6. For the toppings, place onions and agave nectar into the same frying pan used for the patties. Cook for a few minutes until caramelized.
  7. Take the buns out of the oven. Place the sauce on the inner sides of each bun. Add lettuce, tomato slices, the eggplant patty, and caramelized onions on top.
