spacepup | 2,421 Administrator · Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 That's fair. To be honest, I don't eat that much vegan cheese. I can't eat regular cheese, but I don't eat that much vegan cheese either - some of it is ok, some of it is meh. I like the 'Chao' one reasonably ok, and there are a few others that are ok. I just don't use a lot of 'cheese' in general in anything anymore, as even the vegan options aren't particularly all that healthy, so it really just depends. Grilled cheese of any kind isn't really something I'd probably make any more, but I'll do one for this club - I'm curious to try that Violife feta that Link mentioned since he said it was good. It wasn't at my local store when I checked this weekend, so I'll check around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll pick up some of that and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,792 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Okay here's another grilled cheese, had it with lunch, nothing better than grilled cheese and some daytime drinking before work. Threw in some Mos Burger Chinese sauce I had lying around. Also used butter this time around, tea oil is really expensive, though it's fun to play with now and then. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,915 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 So I was planning on making something else tonight and trying to figure out what "vegetable" to have when I found a couple of small Eggplants in the fridge that I'd forgotten about. Then while preparing to batter and bread them for the oven I thought: "It might be fun to try putting them in between the cheeses in a grilled cheese when they're done. Actually I started thinking about texture in a grilled cheese after the whole cream cheese/avocado thing turned out so well and I remembered how eggplant, when you do it this way gets nice and crispy all around the outside and has this really nice soft creamy texture inside. So anyway, I made some Italian Spice to add to bead crumbs along with parmesan cheese and baked 'em on a baking sheet at 375˚ for a short while and then flipped them over and put them back in the oven for an even shorter while. The thing I might try experimenting with in the future is varying the width of the eggplant slices. Previous times, I've used a large eggplant and made slices that were a 1/2" or more which, 1, takes a longer bake time and 2, yields that creamier texture (I think.) Since these eggplants were skinny I cut the slices more like 1/4" or a hair more and the creamy texture wasn't quite all there but they still went great in the sandwich. In fact, I feel like they gave the sandwich a meaty sort of texture and believe it or not, a meaty sort of taste as well which I really enjoyed. Would have been good to have had this experience back when I was a Vegetarian! Anywhoz, I added a sautéed Thai Chili again (I think it needs more like 2 or three) and a large dab of Pesto in the middle of the sandwich. Cheeses were Asiago slices and some shredded cheddar, and finally, I had some egg yolk left over so I added some onion/garlic powder and spooned it onto the outer bread surfaces before frying. Also, I remembered the pickle this time. If it looks odd it's probably because it is an Armenian Cucumber which is kind of interesting if you like cukes. It's a really cool lighter green with a very hardy outer surface. I don't think the flavor is as good as more typical looking varieties of cucumber but it still makes just as fine a Pickle. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,768 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) @SilverspoonGaming how are you doing? I know you said you’re not very experienced in cooking but you are interested. Have you tried anything on this yet? This whole club is just to encourage and show & tell for people who have this interest. And while innovative ideas are fun, no one should worry about operating in a simpler fashion. There is nothing wrong with a basic dish (like shredded cheese on toast then microwaved like I used to do bitd for this thread). I am hoping you can do something and will share it with us. And I’m sure anybody here will be willing to give advice, answer questions, share info, etc. We are here for each other. That said, if you are not comfortable showing or satisfied with something you made there is nothing wrong with lurking and it’s cool if you just wanna chill too.
