Ingredients
- 4 slices Dairy-free bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder (for color, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the slices of dairy-free bread on a baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter.
Whisk in the flour to create a smooth paste, cooking for about 1 minute.
Slowly add the almond milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, until fully incorporated.
Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder to the sauce. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Spoon the vegan cheese sauce generously over the slices of bread, ensuring an even coating.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the bread are golden and the cheese sauce is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free classic cheese on toast!
