Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat. Place your Beyond Burger patty and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and heated through. We like to press it gently with a spatula to get a beautiful sear.

Once your patty is almost done, place a slice of Daiya Gouda on top. Cover the skillet briefly or reduce the heat to allow it to melt. This creates a creamy, gooey layer that hugs the patty.

In the same skillet or a separate one, cook the vegan bacon until crispy. We love the contrast between the juicy patty and crispy bacon—it’s essential for texture.

Mix vegan yogurt, diced jalapeño, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. This sauce gives the burger a creamy, spicy kick that balances the richness of the cheese and bacon.

Lightly toast your burger bun with a bit of vegan butter or oil. This adds crunch and prevents the bun from getting soggy from the sauce.
