so I'm trying to define a classic a grilled cheese with the crunchy bread
complemented by a very mild smooth creamy melted cheese but there's two
types you know there's one that you intentionally make when you're having
like a tomato bisque or just some delicious soup and then there's that
other one that one from your childhood that one you only make because it was
the day before your mom had to go grocery shopping and the only things
left in the house were like two slices of cheese a little bit of butter like
just enough butter and like three slices of bread but it would really be like two
slices because the one slice was like the end of the bread
today I have six different types of vegan cheeses.. is cheeses a word? umm, cheese brands
and we're going to see which of these make the best vegan grilled cheese
sandwich it's kind of like oxymoron here the vegan cheese brands we chose these
are the ones that were available there are other options out there outside of
vegan cheese vegan bread and butter are your other essentials start by adding
butter to one side of each slice also a little butter in the pan and add one
slice of bread butter side down next you're gonna get your vegan cheese out
and add three slices onto the bread in the pan
cover up your three slices with your other bread butter side up cooking all
this on medium-low for about three to five minutes or until golden brown
you're gonna cook the other side for about three to five minutes or until
golden brown I'm gonna be looking for the cheese to melt down which is gonna
be an indicator that it's ready so the first cheese didn't have much of a
stretch it melted down pretty well but it definitely spilled out similar to
American cheese so the taste of this one reminded me of the classic American
cheese had a mild taste perfect meltiness
this was the tofutti brand all our vegan grilled cheese sandwiches we prepped the
same exact way this one for some reason didn't seem to be melting so I tried to
cover it and see what happens so it didn't pass the stretch test but the
interior was surprisingly melty this cheese was made by a good planet
slightly sweet a tad oily but overall it was pretty good so this next cheese was
to mimic like a provolone it melted down actually really easily
had a little bit of a stretch not much but more than the other two but check
out how it melted I mean it says if I put like a sauce in between these two
pieces of bread this cheese is made by Daiya it was a bit overpowering in flavor
might be better for a mac and cheese like before we're laying three pieces of
cheese down and cooking each side about three to five minutes this is the first
vegan cheese that actually had a pretty decent stretch check it out so this was
probably my favorite this is made by Field Roast
it's called Chao cheese I had rich flavor was pillow-soft and it tasted
like a sharp cheese cheese number five this brand was to be similar to like an
aged cheddar or mature cheese not much of a pull on this one but it was really
creamy had some really good flavor this was a mature cheese created by Violife
so last but certainly not the least this one was my actual favorite this will the
smoked gouda I personally have never tried this on a sandwich before
this thing had the best pull I mean it was so creamy I honestly had to check
the package to make sure it was the actual vegan cheese this cheese was
created by Follow Your Heart I had a robust flavor and most certainly
was the winner out of the six cheese's thank you for tuning in let's chat in
the comments about the other options out there to make the best vegan grilled
cheese sandwich
