The Golden Rule
"Never crank the heat to maximum when toasting the bread with a lid on; you must let the low ambient heat gently melt the vegan cheese before the bread turns into charcoal."

Chef's Notes
Treat your caramelized onions with the utmost respect; rushing them over high heat will only yield bitter, burnt disappointment instead of the velvety sweetness this melt demands.
Pro Tip
When flattening your plant-based patties, make sure they match the exact dimensions of your rye bread slices so every single bite delivers an equal ratio of savory patty, gooey cheese, and crisp bread.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you neglect to wipe the skillet clean between cooking the patties and toasting the bread, trapped rogue burger crumbs will instantly burn and smoke out your entire kitchen.

Royal Court Comedy
Why did the vegan burger patty cross the road? To prove to the chicken that it could be processed into an unrecognizable shape too!
The Culinary Science
Deglazing the hot onion pan with apple cider vinegar introduces mild acetic acid that instantly dissolves the flavorful caramelized proteins stuck to the pan, turning them into a rich foundation of flavor.
