Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) or set your grill/broiler to high.
Spread a thin layer of vegan butter or margarine on each slice of bread. This will help to achieve a crispy texture.
Grate the vegan cheese if not already pre-grated.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated vegan cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the bread slices, buttered side facing up, on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over each slice of bread.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the cheese to help it melt and crisp up nicely.
Place the tray in the oven or under the grill/broiler and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
