Fully Loaded Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- Two slices multi-grain bread
- One package of raw tempeh
- Two slices Chao cheese or Vio Life cheddar, or Follow Your Heart vegan cheese
- One tomato
- One small avocado or 1/2 large avo
- 1/4 c Soy sauce
- Liquid smoke a few dashes
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Trader Joe's Everyday seasoning - a few grinds optional
- 1 tsp Vegenaise
- 1 tsp Miyoko's butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Mix together tempeh marinade on a plate: soy sauce, liquid smoke, Trader Joe's everyday seasoning and garlic powder. Slice tempeh into thin slices and place into the marinade, turning the pieces around so they are fully covered. Let soak for a few minutes. Saute tempeh slices in olive oil over medium-high heat until crispy on each side. Remove from pan. Grill two slices of bread in a light amount of Miyoko's butter on one side of each slice, turn over and add vegan cheese slices and cover to let melt.
- Meanwhile, off to the side in the pan, flash grill thick slices of organic tomato. Turn grilled cheese over to get a crisp golden brown and put on a plate to compile sandwich. Spread Vegenaise on (chipotle if you like spicy, or pesto, or plain), add the grilled tomatoes, add sliced avocado, compress and enter sandwich heaven. Enjoy with a salad or chips!
