Cheesy vegan sandwich hack
If you’re making this plum sandwich in a vegan version and you want to add even more cheesy flavours to it, you can sprinkle a little nutritional yeast over the vegan cheese. It will add an extra decadent cheese layer to the sandwich…plus, extra vitamins and nutrients. It’s a win-win.
What cheese can I use
You can use any type of cheese that has a good melting quality to it. I like to use cashew cheese, but you can use any type of cheese you prefer – or several types of cheeses if you are feeling like spoiling yourself.
Gluten free sandwich option
If you need a gluten-free sandwich, fear not. Just bake your favourite gluten-free toast or buy a loaf of gluten-free toast from the grocery store and you should be good to go.
Extra note: if you have gluten allergy you should also check the cheese you are using in this recipe to make sure it’s gluten free and safe for you to eat.
