directions

  • Note: to make oat flour, whiz some oats in a food processor or blender till fine.
  • The cheeze keeps well in the fridge, so if pressed for time you can double or triple it, and microwave for a few seconds to soften before spreading.
  • If you don't have a nonstick pan you can lightly butter the bread.
  • Combine all remaining ingredients, water to salt, in a small pot over medium-high heat. Whisk together as it comes to a boil and immediately turn down to low, stirring continuously for a minute or two, till the cheeze is thickened and creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet, or regular if using margarine, on medium.
  • Spread it on the bread to make sandwiches. This makes quite a bit of cheeze for two sandwiches, so you might want to spread it over three. (But it's so gooey when thick, yum)
  • Grill on preheated skillet till golden, then flip and do other side. Serve immediately. Great with a salad or veggie sticks and dip.

  1. This is genius! Although, as the author says, it's not exactly like grilled cheese, the taste does come amazingly close to cheddar. In my opinion it's closer in taste than Daiya, the gold standard of fake cheese. But most important, it's just yummy for what it is.
     
  2. I *love* this recipe. I usually make at least four times what's listed so I can store it in my fridge all week. The "cheeze" has become a breakfast staple for me. Thank you!
     
  3. This makes such a small amount you might as well double the recipe. It's nice to have on hand in the fridge to put on hot cooked veggies or spread on crackers. Instead of doubling, I made the recipe twice. First I went a little heavier on the tomato paste and lighter on the tahini, lemon and mustard. Next I did the opposite. I liked the first version better, but both were good. It's easy to fiddle with the ingredients and get the flavor you like best. I think most any vegan or someone needing a cheese substitute would be happy with this if you keep an open mind and don't expect it to mimic the taste and texture of cheese. Just go with it and appreciate it for what it is. Makes a nice grilled cheese on whole grain bread to dunk in tomato soup.
     
  4. Great sub for a grilled cheese graving! Of course I only had hamburger buns on hand, and no regular bread so I didnt get the full effect, but I can't wait to have it with tomato soup!
     
  5. This was a really yummy sandwich. I grew up on grilled cheese sandwiches and soup so it was really nice to have something like a grilled cheese again with my soup. Of course it doesn't taste exactly like grilled cheese and you can tell it's different, but its still a nice replacement with its own great taste. I will make this again for sure! :) Made for Australian/New Zealand Recipe Swap.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

A teenager who loves to cook- weird or what? But yes, it's one of my passions! To me cooking is like an art form- there's always something new and exciting to try, and there are constantly more ideas running around in my head than I know what to do with. Now, to update this page- a little task I haven't done in about two years!! Much remains the same as when I joined what seems like "forever ago": I'm a vegan with many passions: music, yoga, volunteer work, healthy/tasty food (the healthy vs. the tasty seem to run in cycles, haha) - and perhaps most of all, I love the written world. My dearest happy moments are when I am reading, writing, and feeling inspired. I'm in my first year studying at Mount Allison university for a B.A., major in English. However, since this is RecipeZaar, I must note that I'm equally obsessive about food!! Six years have passed since I was twelve and sort-of accidentally converted my family to veganism. Yes, even dad and little bro now greedily dig into their tofu shepherd pie and soy ice cream (well, clearly, one AFTER the other). I'm always on the lookout for foods that will please, and maybe even be healthy for, all of us! Now that I'm in uni and living with my aunt, uncle and cousin in New Brunswick, I still try to help with the cooking a bit. My sweetie cousin, Bilious Pigeon here on Zaar, is a terrific kitchen buddy. We share a penchant for fine coffee. Thankfully, my family here has turned mostly to the vegan side and that makes university life sooo much easier! My posted recipes, those I haven't invented, might come from Vegnews magazine, another website, one of our awesome vegan cookbooks, or friends- but it's virtually guaranteed that I've modified them at least in some way, and if from a book or show, I always acknowledge the original source. After all, I'd want someone to do the same for me. Since returning to the public education system after eight years of homeschooling, I don't have quite as much time in the kitchen as I used to. But I don't let that stifle my creativity! One of my favorite activities is in the summer when I get together with another cousin ~Harriet~, who's also here on Zaar, and we cook as much as we want. Good times! One more thing about me. I'm a Zaar game addict. And proud of it, and I'd advise anyone to join who would like more reviews on their own recipes, not to mention spending time with fun people and trying recipes they might not find otherwise. Please Zmail me with any questions or just to chat. Hope you enjoy, and are inspired by, my ideas! <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap4/group06grape.jpg> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/austmap_wattle_small-1.gif"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group02banana.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view¤t=chefkoalas.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/chefkoalas.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/calendar%20clips/Copyofsoybean.jpg" border="0" alt="tag"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Correa.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/tree20kangaroo2001-thumb-1.jpg"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group01avocado.jpg>
