Make the special sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl, taste and adjust for seasoning and store in the fridge.
Prep
Cut the onions into whole onion slices. Be gentle so the individual onion rings don't separate.
Weigh out 2 oz of plant based meat and form two patties to be the same size as your bun, either with a cookie cutter or by smashing them with a spatula in between some burger or parchment paper. Or just do it by hand, whatever you want!
Burgers
Get a large skillet or griddle heated up over medium heat. Add some oil, and then 2 of the onion slices. Cook them for a few minutes and gently flip them. Repeat this process until they are nice and browned. Remove from the pan.
Add your burger patties to the pan / griddle and season with salt and pepper. Cook them for about 3 minutes, and then right before flipping, squirt them with some mustard. Flip them, then add a piece of vegan american cheese, squirt some water in the pan, cover and melt the cheese for about a minute. Then remove from heat.
Sandwich the burger patties in between the two onion slices. Wrap in parchment or burger paper if possible. Then add a dollop of sauce between each bite.
To add buns like I did, simply dry toast them in a pan, and then add some sauce to each bun, followed by the onion wrapped flying dutchman and enjoy!
ENJOY!
