Indulge in the savory delight of a Vegan Tosta Mista, a plant-based twist on the classic Portuguese grilled sandwich. Crafted with crunchy sourdough bread, gooey vegan cheese, and smoky vegan deli slices made from seitan or tofu, this recipe packs incredible flavor into every bite. A spread of Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick, while vegan butter ensures a perfectly golden and crisp exterior. Ready in just 10 minutes, this quick and satisfying sandwich can be enjoyed as a solo meal or paired with fresh arugula or baby spinach for a vibrant finish. Perfect for lunch or a snack, this dairy-free and meat-free creation promises comfort and indulgence with minimal effort.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a sandwich press over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan butter or margarine evenly over one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
If using Dijon mustard, spread it on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.
Layer a vegan cheese slice, followed by two smoked vegan deli slices, and then another vegan cheese slice on the mustard-spread bread (or directly on the bread, if no mustard is used).
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Place the sandwich on the preheated skillet or sandwich press. If using a skillet, press the sandwich gently with a spatula, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the sandwich (if using a skillet) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet or sandwich press and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Optional: Serve with a handful of arugula or baby spinach on the side or tucked into the sandwich for added freshness.
