About this recipe
This is a tall sandwich, not a smash burger. Seeded bread holds a dark bean patty, sweet peppers, cucumber, and avocado so every bite has crunch and creaminess.
Roast the peppers first. Their sweetness is what makes the stack taste finished.
Why this recipe works
- A thick slice of bread supports the height.
- Roasted peppers beat raw ones for flavor.
- Cucumber keeps the sandwich from feeling heavy.
Variations
- Add a swipe of hummus under the avocado.
- Use grilled halloumi instead of the bean patty.
How to serve
Cut in half and serve with extra peppers on the side, the way a cafe plate would.
Storage and reheating
Cooked patties keep up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Store buns and toppings separately so nothing goes soggy. Reheat patties in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water until hot in the center, then melt fresh cheese on top.
