Vegan Grilled Cheese w. Sundried Tomatoes (marinated)
What? Really? Never in a million years would I have though I would want to try a processed vegan cheese. I've seen people write about these Rice slices on other blogs and then saw them in the food store and though I'd give em a try. I was surprised that there was nothing weird about them, taste wise, or any other way really. They really reminded me of the processed cheese's of my youth that I would only eat melted on burgers or in grilled cheese. I could never just unwrap a slice of cheese and eat it. The same goes for the vegan cheese. It's just wasn't my cheese eating style.
I made the above Grilled Cheese yesterday for lunch while I was cleaning and preparing dinner for friends who were coming over later (more on that meal in my next post). I was hungry and wanted something quick and for once in my life didn't want a PB&J. I melted some Earth Balance in a pan. Unwrapped 3 slices of cheese. Threw on some marinated sun dried tomatoes and cooked it up. I couldn't believe my eyes when the cheese actually melted. I couldn't believe my taste buds actually liked this.
Final verdict.
Will I make this again? [x] yes [ ] no
Will I make homemade tempeh bacon? [x] yes [ ] no
Will I put said bacon and sliced tomato on my next grilled cheese? [x] yes [ ]no
Do I now want a PB&J because I just mentioned it in this post? [x] yes [ ] no

Rice slices, eh? I keep a pack of Tofutti slices in my fridge and only pull one out when I'm feeling totally junky. Interesting that they melted though, I may have to look into that.
the color on the grilled sandwich is screaming "CRISPY!" and that's almost too much for my hungry stomach to bear.
Glad it was a good experience with the rice slices!! And oh my goodness, I LOVE the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes - yum!!
just so everyone knows i did eat a PB&J. delicoius. now i need a walk.
Wow, I've never tried rice slices. Guess I'll have to now!
Your grilled cheese looks crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside - as it should be. YUMM!
good god that looks good
Sundried tomato on grilled cheese, what a fantastic idea! Makes a childhood fave slighly more sophisticated. If they ever sell vegan cheese in my neck of the woods I'll have to give it a go.
Oh great... now you're making me want one too! (a grilled cheese and a pb&j)
I have always avoided the rice cheese, because I "thought" it wouldn't taste very good. I guess I need to give it a try.

I've never tried rice slices either, but processed food can be a fun/naughty treat once in a while! So what I'm saying is thanks for making me crave these!
