Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 slices dairy-free cheese slices
- 2 teaspoons dairy-free butter or spread
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 handful optional toppings (e.g., tomato slices, spinach)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Spread it evenly across the pan using a brush or a paper towel.
Spread 1 teaspoon of dairy-free butter or spread on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
Place one slice of bread, butter side down, onto the skillet.
Layer the bread with 2 slices of dairy-free cheese. Add optional toppings like tomato slices or spinach if desired.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up, creating a sandwich.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese has softened or melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
