Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Caramelized Onions

This delicious vegan grilled cheese sandwich with caramelized onions is easy to make. It goes really well with a spicy mint-coriander chutney. Make the chutney ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. If you make the caramelized onions too ahead of time. Make a batch and store it in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can add them to everything from parathas to tofu scramble. I like to start with whole spices and aromatics while making onions at the beginning for adding another layer of flavor.

There’s nothing more satisfying and simpler to make than a nice grilled cheese sandwich for a quick lunch or snack. This recipe can also be customized in any way you’d like. Use a different bread, a cashew cheese, or add veggies such as sliced tomatoes, sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or other greens.

These easy sandwiches can be served with nothing but a cold glass of pop, but you could add a green salad or veggie tofu scramble to make it a complete meal.
