GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY
The secret to a perfect grilled cheese recipe? Mayonnaise! (No, really, it makes the outside crispier and tangier.) Spread butter on one side of each bread slice and mayo on the other. Sandwich the cheddar slices between the buttered sides, leaving the mayo sides on the outside. Fry for a few minutes until golden, dip into a bowl of tomato soup, and resolve to never make a grilled cheese without mayo ever again!

Steps:
- In a medium pot, bring 4 cups (960 ml) of water to a boil. Add the cashews and carrot and boil for 10 minutes, or until the carrot is fork tender.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cashews and carrot to a high-speed blender. Do not discard the cooking water.
- To the blender, add the nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, turmeric, and 1 cup ( 240 ml) plus 2 tablespoons of reserved cooking water (discard any remaining water). Blend the sauce for 2-3 minutes on high speed, until completely smooth.
- Pour the "cheese" sauce back into the pot and stir with a spatula over low heat. Clumps should begin to form. Continue stirring for 2-4 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and stretchy. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
- Butter each slice of bread on 1 side. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat a dollop of vegan butter over medium heat. Once the butter begins to bubble, add a slice of bread, butter side down, and use a spatula to spread cheese sauce on top. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up. Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is golden brown. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes more, until the other slice of bread is golden brown as well, then remove from pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

VEGAN GRILLED CHEESE
Vegan cheese doesn't really melt the same as dairy cheese, so keep the heat low to give it plenty of time to soften while crisping the bread for this recipe. It is also quite rich due to a high amount of oil, so just a slice and a half per sandwich is enough to be gooey and decadent, but not heavy.

Steps:
- Spread the mustard on 1 side of 4 slices bread, then top each with 1 1/2 slices cheese and another slice of bread. Generously brush the sandwiches with olive oil.
- In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sandwiches over medium-low heat until the bottoms are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the sandwiches, cover the skillet and cook until the cheese melts and the bread is crisp, about 10 more minutes; uncover in the last minute to let out the steam.
Tips:
- Choose the best bread: Sourdough and white bread are great choices for grilled cheese sandwiches. They're sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings and the grilling process, but they're also soft and fluffy enough to provide a delicious contrast to the melted cheese.
- Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a grilled cheese sandwich, so don't skimp on quality. Look for cheeses that are flavorful and melt well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and Swiss.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings: Grilled cheese sandwiches are a blank canvas for creativity. Try adding different fillings like sliced tomatoes, avocado, bacon, or sautéed mushrooms.
- Grill the sandwich low and slow: This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent the bread from burning.
- Serve the sandwich immediately: Grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh off the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled cheese sandwiches are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying grilled cheese sandwich that is perfect for any occasion.
