    How to Prepare Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese [Vegan]

    1. Mix the cream cheese, chives, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper in a small bowl using a fork or spoon. Set aside.
    2. Place about half the vegan butter in a large nonstick pan set over medium-high heat.
    3. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the vegan cheese shreds to the pan in two piles (about 1/2 cup/50 g each) in the shape of the bread slices.
    4. While the cheese is melting, spread the cream cheese mixture onto each of the 4 bread slices (about 2 tablespoons per slice).
    5. Once the cheese is melted, top each pile with a slice, cream cheese side facing down, and gently press down.
    6. Using a turner, carefully flip the bread and cheese, add a little more butter to the pan, and then place the remaining two slices on top (cream cheese side facing down).
    7. Gently press down again and cook for 1 minute, then flip the whole sandwiches and cook for 30 to 60 more seconds on the other side (you want the bread to be toasted and the cheese melted, but the cream cheese shouldn’t be too melty).

    Notes

    If you don’t love spicy food, simply swap out the jalapeños for chopped bell peppers!
