Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Caramelized Onions
This spiced vegan grilled cheese sandwich is the perfect way to enjoy your favorite quick lunch! Once you add caramelized onions to it, there's no going back. Serve it with a mint-cilantro chutney and there's no going back!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 onion sliced thin
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 6-7 curry leaves
- 2 green chili peppers
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 sliced sandwich bread
- 2 slices of vegan cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise or 1 tbsp butter for toasting the bread
Instructions
- Heat up a tsp oil in a skillet and add mustard seeds to it. Once it starts popping, add the curry leaves.
- Once the curry leaves become crispy, add the green chili peppers and sliced onions, on medium heat.
- Add salt and a bit of baking soda to help it soften faster.
- Once it’s caramelized fully, switch off the heat and set it aside.
- Spread the sliced bread with mayonnaise or softened vegan butter (according to preference). The mayonnaise adds a different flavor to the grilled cheese, worth a try!
- Add a layer of caramelized onions on top, vegan cheese slices, and top with the other slice.
- Cook on a flat skillet until golden brown on each side.
- If the cheese hasn’t melted then sprinkle some water on the pan and cover the sandwich with a lid. This helps vegan cheese to melt.
- Enjoy with a side of mint coriander chutney!
