Servings: persons

vegan margarine (optional)
4 -6 slices whole wheat bread
1/3 cup water
4 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes
1 tablespoon oat flour (see below)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons no-added-salt tomato paste or 2 teaspoons ketchup
1 tablespoon tahini (can omit for a fat-free sandwich, but it adds richness and depth)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard (can be omitted)
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1
Note: to make oat flour, whiz some oats in a food processor or blender till fine.
2
The cheeze keeps well in the fridge, so if pressed for time you can double or triple it, and microwave for a few seconds to soften before spreading.
3
If you don't have a nonstick pan you can lightly butter the bread.
4
Combine all remaining ingredients, water to salt, in a small pot over medium-high heat. Whisk together as it comes to a boil and immediately turn down to low, stirring continuously for a minute or two, till the cheeze is thickened and creamy. Remove from heat.
5
Heat a non-stick skillet, or regular if using margarine, on medium.
6
Spread it on the bread to make sandwiches. This makes quite a bit of cheeze for two sandwiches, so you might want to spread it over three. (But it's so gooey when thick, yum)
7
Grill on preheated skillet till golden, then flip and do other side. Serve immediately. Great with a salad or veggie sticks and dip.
