Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

A grilled cheese sandwich is an easy lunch for kids and adults. You can make it with vegan cheese if you are eating dairy-free or eliminating animal products. Making a delicious vegan grilled cheese is dependent on two thingsthe bread and the vegan cheese. Try a few different brands to find the ones you like best; three are follow your heart, daiya, and teese. With daiya, you have a choice of their daiya shreds or slices. Another choice that emulates american cheese slices is earth island american style slices. Your choice of bread is also important for making a great vegan grilled cheese sandwich. You don't have to use sourdough, as in this recipe. A whole-grain dairy-free bread will add even more texture. Whatever bread you choose, it should be about 1/2 inch thick in order to not dry out when grilled. This recipe uses olive oil for pan-frying. If you want a buttery flavor, try using a vegan butter instead.
