Ingredients

  • 8 slices Sourdough Bread
  • 1 cup Cashews (raw, soaked)
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven broiler to high, which is typically around 500°F (260°C).
  2. 2Place the 8 slices of Sourdough Bread onto a baking sheet. Broil them for 1 to 2 minutes per side, watching closely, until they are lightly golden.
  3. 3While the bread toasts, combine the 1 cup of raw, soaked cashews, 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a blender.
  4. 4Blend the ingredients on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. 5Carefully spread the creamy cashew cheese sauce evenly over the surface of each of the 8 lightly toasted bread slices. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme over the cashew cheese sauce on each slice.
  6. 6Place the baking sheet with the prepared bread slices back under the broiler. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them, until the topping is golden brown and visibly bubbly.
  7. 7Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve the Vegan Käseschnitte immediately while it is hot.
