Ingredients
- 2 large slices vegan bread of your choice (sturdy bread is better for crunch / flavor — we prefer sourdough // gluten-free if needed)
- 1 Tbsp vegan butter (we like Miyoko’s with a hint of salt // use more or less depending on size of bread)
- 4-5 Tbsp Vegan Cheddar Cheese (spread // or sub comparable amount of store-bought cheddar cheese slices or shreds)
Instructions
- Heat a medium cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- In the meantime, butter both sides of your bread.
- Once skillet is hot, add your bread and lightly toast both sides (~1-2 minutes) — this develops flavor and crunch on both sides of the sandwich.
- Remove bread from the pan and spread a semi-thick layer of vegan cheddar cheese on one side of both slices of bread. Then fold the slices together to make a sandwich (cheese in the center).
- Return sandwich to the skillet and continue cooking over medium heat, flipping a couple times until both sides are nice and golden brown and crispy, and the cheese appears melty and gooey (~5-8 more minutes — lowering heat as needed if browning too quickly).
- Enjoy hot. Slice in half for serving if desired. Best when fresh. Pairs beautifully with soup!
