As I was missing my once favourite snack I thought I would try a few things to sort this out, frying the GF bread in a little olive oil on a low heat gives it a nice colour but also a bit of moisture. I like to add a few cherry tomatoes to my pan as well, I may add a bit of onion sometimes too.
When I have fried it a little on both sides I slice some of the cheese then add it to one side and turn it face down to the pan, (it will melt but not stick or run all over your pan) it stays in more or less one piece and can be got off the pan easily with a spatula. It is moist to hold so have a napkin ready to wipe your hands while you are eating. If you are GF vegan and miss a decent cheese toastie give this a go, it just shows there is an alternative way with most foods if you are missing something.
I think there may be lots of vegan cheese alternatives that are good but because I have tried a few bad ones I am sticking with this one at the moment. It is a bit expensive to buy them to try and then not like them. If anyone has any tips for any good ones let me know, I know there are mozzarella flavours but I have not tried those, it would be worth knowing if any were worth a try.
People tend to say to me 'oh no what do you eat?' because I am GF vegan, well I eat plenty and it is just a case of swapping things and experimenting. Going out is always awkward as restaurants seem to have no vision at all and they have trained cooks working for them! It is a bit annoying though when the family are tucking into fresh tiger bread which smells amazing, none of the GF versions are ever soft and fluffy like that, including the bread I've tried myself.

M&S do a nice GF Tiger-style bread - its a bit pricey but nice for a treat.
ReplyDeleteThat 'cheese' toastie looks really tasty.
