When I am craving something comforting and don’t want to make a big production of things in the kitchen, this Vegan Grilled Cheese is often what I make. Sometimes I eat it with sriracha, as pictured here. Other times I like to dip it in raspberry chipotle marinade. Normally my appetite doesn’t permit it, but to add more comforty goodness, you could eat this with Creamy Tomato Basil Soup.
My go-to vegan cheese is Follow Your Heart vegan cheddar, but sometimes I’ll use their Monterey Jack or mozzarella, and add some jalapeños. If you want a meltier vegan cheese, then I would use Daiya. It melts wonderfully, I just prefer the taste of Follow Your Heart. My favorite vegan cream cheese is Tofutti – and I have tried many brands of vegan cream cheese. When I am at a store that doesn’t sell Tofutti, I will buy other brands, always to find myself wondering why I didn’t go out of my way to get the good stuff. Live and learn.
