How to Make a Vegan Pizza Grilled Cheese

Spread your favorite pizza or marinara sauce on bread. Layer vegan mozzarella, basil, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes on top. Cook on both sides until golden brown.

Tips

Switch out the sun-dried tomatoes and black olives for your favorite toppings. Sautéed mushrooms or vegan pepperoni would work well too.
After making the sandwich, spread vegan mayo on the slice of bread facing you. Flip it and place it in a hot skillet so that you’re cooking the grilled cheese in the vegan mayo. Alternatively, you could use vegan butter. While it’s cooking, spread more vegan mayo on the top slice (the one facing you).
To help melt the vegan cheese, place a heat-proof metal bowl or a frying pan lid over the top of the sandwich creating a dome. This works best when the lid is smaller than the pan and just covers the sandwich.
You could also place an open-faced sandwich under the broiler for a few minutes. Some vegan cheeses melt better than others, so it all depends on which you use. You can see from my photos that my cheese could have been melted longer.
Serve with more marinara or pizza sauce.
