Vegan Grilled

This is one of the first vegan recipes I ever tried. While it does not imitate grilled cheese, it has become one of our favorites. Gooey and glorious! (from Vegan Vittles)

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 sandwiches, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

vegan margarine (optional)
4 -6 slices whole wheat bread
1/3 cup water
4 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes
1 tablespoon oat flour (see below)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons no-added-salt tomato paste or 2 teaspoons ketchup
1 tablespoon tahini (can omit for a fat-free sandwich, but it adds richness and depth)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard (can be omitted)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Note: to make oat flour, whiz some oats in a food processor or blender till fine.
  • The cheeze keeps well in the fridge, so if pressed for time you can double or triple it, and microwave for a few seconds to soften before spreading.
  • If you don't have a nonstick pan you can lightly butter the bread.
  • Combine all remaining ingredients, water to salt, in a small pot over medium-high heat. Whisk together as it comes to a boil and immediately turn down to low, stirring continuously for a minute or two, till the cheeze is thickened and creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet, or regular if using margarine, on medium.
  • Spread it on the bread to make sandwiches. This makes quite a bit of cheeze for two sandwiches, so you might want to spread it over three. (But it's so gooey when thick, yum)
  • Grill on preheated skillet till golden, then flip and do other side. Serve immediately. Great with a salad or veggie sticks and dip.
