Whether you're veg-curious, fully vegetarian, or just looking for a cleaner way to enjoy fast food at home – this one delivers.

🍔 What You’ll Need

For the Patties:

• 2 store-bought or homemade veggie burger patties (choose firm ones, not mushy)

• A bit of oil for frying

For the Big Mac Sauce:

• 3 tbsp mayo (vegan or regular)

• 1 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tsp mustard

• 1 tsp finely chopped pickles

• 1/2 tsp vinegar

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp onion powder

Other Layers:

• 3 sesame burger buns (you’ll use one extra bottom bun in the middle)

• Iceberg lettuce, finely shredded

• 2–3 slices of pickles

• 1 slice cheddar or vegan cheese (optional)

• Diced onions

🔥 How to Build It

1. Toast the Buns
   Lightly toast the top, middle, and bottom parts of your buns for structure and flavor.

2. Cook the Patties
   Pan-fry or grill the veggie patties until golden brown on both sides and heated through.

3. Make the Sauce
   Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Adjust to taste.

4. Assemble Like a Real Big Mac

   • Bottom bun: spread sauce, add lettuce, a few pickles, diced onions, and first patty

   • Middle bun: repeat the same layering – sauce, lettuce, cheese (optional), second patty

   • Top bun: place it on top and gently press

5. Serve Hot
   Pair it with oven fries or a salad – or just enjoy it straight up.
