Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread (or bread of choice)
- 4 slices vegan cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves or spinach (optional)
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of vegan butter on one side of each slice of bread. Ensure the butter is evenly distributed for a golden, crispy finish.
Sprinkle the buttered sides with a pinch of garlic powder and nutritional yeast for added flavor.
If using, spread a light layer of dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Place a slice of vegan cheese on the unbuttered side of each of the two 'base' slices of bread.
If using, add fresh basil leaves or spinach on top of the cheese slices.
Top with another slice of vegan cheese and close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Once warm, place the sandwiches onto the pan.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
Flip the sammiches carefully and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove from heat, let sit for a minute to cool slightly, then slice the sammiches in half and serve immediately.
