Before we dive into burgers, I wanted to give a few updates on the cookbook! My friends have been sharing recipes from the cookbook this week and I think they are hitting it out of the park with these recipes adaptions and photos. So gorgeous! Be sure to check out the recipes:

Okay, enough book talk, on to burger business.
When I worked as a waitress my last year of school, I had my one favorite meal: a veg burger with grilled onions on rye bread. It wasn't anything too complicated but I think it was the combination the rye bread with the grilled onions. I don't always keep rye bread in the house so my typical version is usually just this brown rice burger topped with a bit of grilled onions, however, if I find a fresh loaf of rye bread, I pick it up and make these patty melts.
I explained in the post about these burgers that they aren't your no-fuss veg burger and are a bit soft/crumble easier than some other recipes. Yet, the flavor of the oats, brown rice, and nuts is such a winning combination (like in this buffalo 'crumble' salad!) And of course, you can't go wrong grilled onions.

*alternatively, instead of grilling the onions, use caramelized onions.
Grilled onions all the way! It feels so fancy, but so easy! : )
grilled rye bread and onions is a match made in heaven! I love it so much! I will have to try these veggie burgers and get away from my regular tempeh slices!!
This looks SO stinkin' good!!!!
Ahhh this looks amazing! My stomach is rumbling... and I just ate lunch 🙂
I literally gasped when I saw this recipe because I've always wanted to try/come up with a vegetarian version of a patty melt (so I can eat it more often, of course ;)). YUM.
This patty looks so delicious!! Awesome recipe!
These looks super tasty!! I love any bean or nut burger so this is right up my street!

Love this unique take on a burger + the combination of flavours/textures you've used.
Looks and sounds fantastic!
Absolutely amazing! Looks soooo good! How can you go wrong with swiss cheese and onions on a burger? I love to add a bit of good quality balsamic vinegar to the onions at the end, makes them event better... 🙂
