Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A crispy, buttery vegan grilled cheese sandwich layered with melty plant-based cheese — classic comfort food made cruelty-free, simple, and extra delicious.
Ingredients
For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices of bread sourdough or multigrain
- 4 slices vegan cheese or ½ cup shredded vegan cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter or margarine
- Pinch of salt optional
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional for flavor boost
For Serving:
- Vegan tomato soup or ketchup optional but highly encouraged
Instructions
- Spread vegan butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place a slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.
- Layer with vegan cheese and sprinkle garlic powder if desired.
- Top with the second slice, buttered side up.
- Grill for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side until the cheese melts and bread crisps.
- Remove from the pan, slice diagonally (because presentation matters), and serve hot.
