Step 1

Heat a medium cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In the meantime, butter both sides of your bread.

Step 3

Once skillet is hot, add your bread and lightly toast both sides (~1-2 minutes) — this develops flavor and crunch on both sides of the sandwich.

Step 4

Remove bread from the pan and spread a semi-thick layer of vegan cheddar cheese on one side of both slices of bread. Then fold the slices together to make a sandwich (cheese in the center).

Step 5

Return sandwich to the skillet and continue cooking over medium heat, flipping a couple times until both sides are nice and golden brown and crispy, and the cheese appears melty and gooey (~5-8 more minutes — lowering heat as needed if browning too quickly).

Step 6

Enjoy hot. Slice in half for serving if desired. Best when fresh. Pairs beautifully with soup!
