Vegan Grilled ‘Cheese’ Sandwich

Posted on November 4, 2019July 6, 2023

Maybe you’ve noticed that I am all about practical veganism. I write that I am vegan and how I live vegan, especially in my weekly diaries. This is all very practical. I am planning to write more about the why too, that’ll be soon! Yet, practical veganism is important too, because our society isn’t that vegan friendly. So for now, I have another practical part for you. Today I am sharing my favorite recipe for a vegan grilled ‘cheese’ sandwich with you!

About why I am vegan so far

As I said, I have not written about why I am vegan so often just yet. That’s something for the future. Yet, this doesn’t mean I haven’t written anything about veganism on this blog at all. You can read practical parts in my weekly diaries. But I have also written about a lot of documentaries and books. If you’re reading this and don’t have a clue on why I would live vegan, here are the tips I have for you so far: Cowspiracy, The Gamechangers, Vegucated, Earthlings, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Eating Animals, De Vegarevolutie (The Veg Revolution) and this article about How to make sustainable food choices in 5 steps.

Vegan Cheese

Cheese is usually the last thing vegans give up. I’ve heard that this is due to an addictive part in milk, to make the calf come back to its mother to drink. But, I guess there is another reason. The vegan substitutes I’ve had so far aren’t so good. It’s hard to find good vegan ‘cheese’ in a store in my opinion. When I think of good vegan ‘cheese’, I can name two. 1 is the vegan blue ‘cheese’ I’ve had at WakuWaku in Utrecht. This was truly amazing and tasted a lot like cheese (even my non-vegan boyfriend agreed to this). 2 is the vegan ‘cheese’ I make myself. And this vegan ‘cheese’ is the ‘cheese’ I want to share today for this vegan grilled ‘cheese’ sandwich.

A real grilled cheese sandwich is something I was addicted to before I went vegan, so this was something I really wanted to find a replacement for. If you have followed me for over two years, you might have read here that I had tried packaged vegan ‘cheese’ slices for a vegan grilled ‘cheese’ sandwich. This wasn’t what I expected, it’s not as good as the real thing. So, when I found the recipe I am about to share with you, I felt so happy! This is something that can replace the real thing for me, for when I have cravings. I love this ‘cheese’. Turns out it is also very simple, I personally use only two ingredients.

Anyway, I won’t keep you waiting, here’s the recipe:

2 Ingredient Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

  • Nutritional Yeast Flakes
    • I use the brand NatuFood (with a lot of added vitamins to it)
  • Vegan Mayoniase
    • I use Remia Mayolijn in glass (can be bought in almost any supermarket in The Netherlands)
Recipe

I use the two ingredients in a 2/1 ratio. Two spoons of nutritional yeast and one spoon of vegan mayonnaise. That is the amount I use for one grilled ‘cheese’ sandwich, so for two slices of bread. You first put the nutritional yeast in a bowl and then add the mayonnaise. When you mix it together, this gives you a yellowish substance which looks like this:

You put this mixture on a sandwich, grill it and that’s it. There’s you vegan grilled ‘cheese’ sandwich! I like to eat the sandwich with ketchup, but maybe that’s a Dutch things haha. You can also add spices if you like. I’ve seen recipes with cumin, cayenne and more. It’s just whatever you prefer and I guess I am basic since I really like the two ingredient recipe haha!

Have you ever tried this recipe as a vegan or non-vegan?

Oké, ik weet niet waarom ik dacht dat deze overgangen mooi zouden worden 😂. Ik post het toch maar, want ik vond het te grappig en tja, alle outfits zijn wel echt 100% tweedehands.. De afgelopen jaren heb ik geleerd hoe ik met weinig tot geen olie lekkere gerechten op tafel kan zetten (helemaal plantaardig uiteraard) 🌯. Weten hoe en waarom ik dat doe? Ik schreef er een artikel over die je nu kan vinden via de link in mijn bio. Dit is al het vegan eten wat ik at in Bratislava, Slowakije 🇸🇰. De stad heeft me verbaasd, want er zijn echt veel vegan restaurants. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga dan voor Balans Bistro, die is echt het beste. Vandaag maakte in voor het eerst sinds in veganistisch leef (6 jaar) weer eens quiche! Want ik kon nooit echt een simpel receptje vinden voor vegan quiche en dat schrok me af. Tot vandaag, want ik vond een recept van de Albert Heijn, met vegan kookroom en vegan ei van Plant B die ze sinds dit jaar verkopen. Op deze manier is het echt een makkie en quiche is dan ook zeker toegevoegd aan mijn kookportfolio! Ik ga dit vaker maken, en ook verschillende varianten. Het is zó makkelijk, maar wel heel lekker. Vandaag zat er eigenlijk alleen broccoli in, maar ik ben benieuwd naar wat nog meer mogelijk is. Vegan spekjes lijken me er bijvoorbeeld heerlijk in! 🥓 Als je gaat wandelen/hiken, kan je heel makkelijk positieve impact maken! Neem een klein zakje of tasje mee en raap al het afval wat je tegen komt op: easy peasy 🚮. Vandaag verscheen het laatste artikel op mijn blog over onze interrail avonturen. Je leest over hoe we met de trein van Kopenhagen terug naar Amsterdam reisden met de trein 🚃. De foto past er niet echt bij haha, hier ben ik namelijk aan het genieten van een vegan milkshake (met herbruikbaar rietje!) in Warschau, maar ach. Ik ben van mening dat je niet ver hoeft te reizen om mooie dingen te zien. Europa is prachtig! Dit is Boheems Zwitserland in Tsjechië 🇨🇿. Ik schrijf nog altijd over mijn interrail in september. Vandaag staat een verslag op mijn blog over reisdag 5 van de interrail: de treinreis van Warschau naar Kopenhagen. En als ik zo door de foto’s heen scrol mis ik de interrail toch wel een beetje! 🚃 Dit zijn 3 vegan hotspots in Dresden die ik zou aanraden 🌱. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga voor Der Dicke Schmidt, jeetje wat was dat goed.
