    Gouda Marmalade Grilled Cheese

    Jump to Recipe

    I have been on a grilled cheese sandwich kick lately. And today’s sandwich creation is a new fave: Gouda Marmalade Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Get the recipe and start your own vegan grilled cheese obsession..

    Simple ingredients. Bold flavors.

    Grilled Cheese. Today’s recipe is a winter season dream. Toasty, buttery, sourdough bread cradles melty Gouda cheese, chopped walnuts, a hint of greens and black pepper and an accent of sticky-sweet marmalade jam. Super simple ingredients with flavors that really pop.

    Vegan Grilled Cheese of the Month. This is December’s creation. I can’t wait to see what I dream up for you next month and beyond. #VGCOTM

    Variations:

    – Swap out the marmelade for any jam you’d like. You could even do maple syrup.
    – Swap Gouda for another flavor – I like any vegan white cheese – provolone, mozzarella, Parm – even DIY cashew…
    – Swap out the walnuts for any chopped nut or seed. Spicy pumpkin seeds would be nice. Or chopped pecans.
    – Add garlic! Add minced garlic to your sandwich, or slather on some soft roasted garlic.
    – Sage. Toasted sage leaves could also be a nice accent.
    – Black olives. Olives would add another punch of saltiness.
    – Kale. Wilted chopped kale would be really yummy in this sandwich. Spinach or chard could work too. Any wintery greens to add more flavor, fiber and nutrients.
    – Hot Sauce. A splash of your fave hot sauce will add a spicy kick! A pinch of cayenne could also work.
    – Add tempeh bacon or garlic hummus for a boost of legumes.
    – Avocado. Avocado is always a good idea…

    What Vegan Cheese Melt Well? Honestly, there are SO MANY these days that I barely need to answer that question. I used Follow Your Heart for this sandwich, but other faves include: Daiya, Chao, Parmela and So Delicious. Browse my Vegan Cheese Guide for more ideas.

    Other fave grilled cheese sandwiches? Here are a few..

    – I love my spinach-stuffed grilled cheese.
    – Classic melty grilled cheese, inspired by the movie Chef.
    – Tomato-basil grilled cheese.
    – Apple-stuffed Grilled Cheese on Cinnamon-Raisin Bread.
    – Also my grilled cheese sandwich bites as tomato soup toppers…!

    Prep: 5 mins
    Cook: 8 mins
    Total: 13 mins
    Servings: 1 sandwich

    Ingredients

    • 2 slices sourdough bread
    • 2-4 slices vegan Gouda cheese
    • 1 tablespoon orange marmalade jam
    • 2 tablespoon raw walnuts, chopped
    • small handful mixed greens
    • pinch fresh black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
    • splash of extra virgin olive oil for the pan

    Instructions

    • Warm a skillet over high heat. Add a splash of olive oil – coating the pan well.
    • Spread the vegan butter on both sides of the bread. You can use a bit more for a truly buttery-crusted sandwich.
    • Place one slice of the bread in the warm pan, rub it into the hot oil a bit and flip it. Then pile the cheese slices on one side.
    • On the other slice of bread, spread the marmalade.
    • Sprinkle the walnuts over top the cheese slices – in the pan – and then add the greens and black pepper over top. Then top that with the marmalade-slathered slice.
    • Using a spatula or heavy pot top, press down on the sandwich. Turn the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid – or the heavy pot lid. Allow to toast and warm for 2-3 minutes.
    • Flip the sandwich and repeat with pressing down the bread or covering the pan with a lid. The flipped bread side should be lightly browned by now with darker, toasty edges. Give the sandwich another 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
    • When the cheese looks melted and both side toasty, remove from the skillet. Slice and serve.
