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.

Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- Feel free to add other vegan meats or sandwich fillings, such as tempeh, tofu, roasted vegetables, or avocado.
- Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the heat of the grill, such as sourdough, whole wheat, or ciabatta.
- To make the cheese sauce ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to make the grilled cheese sandwiches, simply reheat the cheese sauce over low heat until it's melted and smooth.
- To make the grilled cheese sandwiches even more decadent, try using a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and provolone.
- Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides, such as soup, salad, or fruit.
