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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Sprinkle the buttered sides with a pinch of garlic powder and nutritional yeast for added flavor.
Step 3
If using, spread a light layer of dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Step 4
Place a slice of vegan cheese on the unbuttered side of each of the two 'base' slices of bread.
Step 5
If using, add fresh basil leaves or spinach on top of the cheese slices.
Step 6
Top with another slice of vegan cheese and close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Once warm, place the sandwiches onto the pan.
Step 8
Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
Step 9
Flip the sammiches carefully and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted.
Step 10
Remove from heat, let sit for a minute to cool slightly, then slice the sammiches in half and serve immediately.
