How to Prepare Gooey Grilled Cheese Sandwich [Vegan]

  1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a stock pot. Add potatoes, carrots, and onions to the boiling water, and cook about 10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. Add 2/3 cup water from the vegetables into a blender. Add sunflower seeds, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon, salt, garlic powder, and mustard, then blend well. Spoon the tender vegetables in and blend again.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush oil over the bread, place one slice, oiled-side down, on the pan. Spoon the vegetable mixture onto the bread and spread evenly. Top with second side of bread and cook until golden brown on each side, 1-3 minutes.
