You may think that if you go vegan, your days of grilled cheese sandwiches will be over. Toasted bread stuffed with warm, gooey cheese? Yeah, those days are about to be better than ever. This recipe is great for all your cheddar needs because it can be made two ways: as a cheese sauce or as a firm cheese you can slice and grate. And these sandwiches? Warm, chunky mushrooms with melty cheddar cheese, whole grain mustard, and some crusty bread? I mean, come on!
