I hope you took part in the first (unofficial) vegan burger challenge and voted for your fave! In the end it was I, Lauren Toyota, who came out the winner with this delicious beast of a vegan burger.
This wasn't my first time making a great burger in the hot for food kitchen, so are you surprised? Yeah, me neither!
This smoked gouda mushroom chard burger is a real winner, and I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into it. That oozy vegan cheese sauce is made with my and Daiya Smoked Gouda Style Block. It worked perfectly, and I honestly think that was the thing that set this burger off to be the champion.

I made this burger for my family, and being the only vegan, I had hopes that they would like this. My mom and dad are big meat eaters but have complied to my efforts of being vegan so far. They said that these burgers were surprisingly very good and tasted a lot like the real thing! Definitely will make again

It looks delicious. Will definitely try it. Is there a substitute for chard that I use?
I tried the egg yolk recipe and it was amazing. It looked like a real egg yolk/

This was super delicious. My only problem is I didn't realize I was supposed to have a burger patty also 🤣😭 so I have a lovely mushroom and cheese sandwich. Tastes great though!
