Grill the burgers on a BBQ until lightly charred on each side. Or pan fry with a splash of oil for 8 mins, flipping intermittently. 9. Char the inner sides of the brioche bun on the pan/grill for 30 seconds to a minute, or until it has some colour. 10. Place a burger inside each bun, then top with a tbsp of chilli and apple jam from the jar, vegan cheese and salad to taste.
