I was was going to skip the bun and serve it on a bed of shredded lettuce, but my Laurie's Grain Free Bread order arrived today so I am enjoying this open-faced on a toasted piece of bread with melted vegan soy & gluten free cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped red onion, chopped tomato and chopped dill pickles.   YUMOLICIOUS!
