Method
- 01
Spread Dijon on the inside of the bread if using. Divide the vegan cheese among four sandwiches.
- 02
Coat the outsides of the bread with vegan butter or mayonnaise.
- 03
Heat a skillet over medium-low. Add the sandwiches and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the first side is golden.
- 04
Flip, add 1/2 tbsp water to the empty area of the pan, and immediately cover. Steam 1 minute to help the cheese melt, then uncover and cook until the second side is crisp.
- 05
Rest 1 minute before slicing.
- 06
Tip: Low heat gives plant-based cheese enough time to soften before the bread darkens.
