How to make Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Tips from the cook

  • Cook over medium-low heat so the crust does not burn before the cheese melts.
  • Grate the cheese yourself: pre-shredded cheese has starch that stops it melting well.
  • Soft-crust sourdough works best; white bread or brioche also work.

Sourdough bread1 option
  • Gluten-free bread 1:1

    Crumbles; toast it.

Butter2 options
  • Vegan/dairy-free butter block 1:1 by weight

    Soft tub margarine fails in pastry and cheesecake base.

  • Olive oil use about 3/4 as much by volume

    Not for creaming or pastry; base goes oily.

Mayonnaise2 options
  • Plain Greek yogurt (or unsweetened soy yogurt if dairy-free) 1:1 by volume

    Frying/hot dishes; not a binder for crispy rice.

    Still contains dairy.

  • Vegan mayonnaise 1:1

    Often contains mustard; check label.

    Still contains mustard and soy.

Gruyere1 option
  • Violife dairy-free cheddar shreds 1:1

    The page does not mention gruyere; nutty flavour and fondue-style melt will not match.

Colby jack cheese2 options
  • Violife dairy-free colby jack / cheddar shreds 1:1

    Does not spread like dairy cheese.

  • Moocho dairy-free cheddar shreds 1:1

    Not sold everywhere; made by the Tofurkey makers, so check the label for soy.

    Still contains soy.

Cheddar3 options
  • Mozzarella or Swiss 1:1 by weight

    Milder than cheddar.

    Still contains dairy.

  • Dairy-free cheddar-style shreds (a labelled dairy-free product) 1:1 by weight

    The page says dairy-free cheese will never taste or melt like real cheese; soy/nut content varies by brand.

    Still contains soy.

  • Nutritional yeast 2 tbsp per 50 g

    Does not melt.
