EEE-ZEE-CHEE-ZEE Grilled Cheeze | VegWeb.com, The World's Largest Collection of Vegetarian Recipes (2024)

1/8 nutritional yeast
1/8 whole wheat pastry flour
water
sea salt
bread
vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance, its vegan)
black pepper (optional)
tomato (optional)

Put equal amounts of nutritional yeast and pastry flour in a small sauce pan (I like a little more yeast than flour). Add enough water to mix them together. Heat on medium for just a few seconds to heat it up (you only need about 1/8 cup of each for one serving. This can be adjusted to the number of sandwiches you are making). It should become like a spread (peanut butter consistency). Add sea salt to taste.
Spread this on bread and add tomato if desired. Add pepper to taste. Butter the outside of your bread (I use Earth Balance, its vegan), and grill it in a pan like you would grilled vegan cheese.
I just discovered this the other day.....I had been missing the real thing after all of these years and this is even better! The cheeze spread is good on crackers too (the only bad thing is that it kind of reminds me of Cheeze-Whiz). But delicious anyway!

Damn! These are really good. It has literally been years since I had a toasted/grilled sandwich and this made for the perfect snack. I added tomato and avocado and lots of cracked pepper. My mum came into the kitchen and I was like "oh my god, try this!", she was so impressed I had to make her one. :)

Lovely recipe, especially with a few modifications. I always use about twice as much nutritional yeast, never make it without a thin slice or two of tomatoes, and fry it on a skillet with lots of Earth Balance butter. So delicious!

Will definitely be making this many times in the future. I was skeptical when heating the mixture as I cooked it a little too long and it got really gluey (glad I used non-stick.) But I proceeded with the recipe by dividing each sandwich portion into two so that I could spread it on both slices to "glue" my tomatoes and red onion in place. The sandwiches got really crispy on the outside, nice substantial filling inside. Very flavorful, hearty and low in fat. SO MUCH BETTER than vegan cheese and much cheaper. Doesn't really taste like dairy cheese, but I like it for what it is because I love the flavor of nutritional yeast. Thanks for this recipe!

YUM :) I've had this sandwich two days in a row now for dinner and it is soooo good! Tonight I even had a big bowl of tomato soup to go with it! I added Dijon mustard to my sandwich (not to the cheese part, but spread on one of the bread slices) because I LOVE mustard on grilled cheese, I highly recommend trying it, it's really good.
