Flesh-Free Friday: Grilled Ham and Cheese-wich

Avatar of Ryan-H

Classic. Crowd-pleaser. Cheesy.

These are just some of the words used to describe peta2′s resident pun rights advocate, Christina, but they could just as easily apply to today’s flesh-free fare: the grilled ham and cheese-wich!

Replace:

  • Pig flesh with vegan ham slices (available at most grocery and health food stores)
  • Butter with vegan margarine
  • Cheese with Daiya vegan mozzarella (there’s a world of options to choose from)

Other ingredients:

  • English muffins (many are accidentally vegan, I went with whole wheat)

Talk about idiot-proof; this is a super-simple recipe that is sure to satisfy both zombies and pyromaniacs alike.

To start, fire up your grill (or pre-heat the oven to 350, if you’re flammable). Spread a little margarine on the top and bottom of the English muffins. Lay both sides margarine-down on aluminum foil, and put stacks of “cheese” on both. Then, add the veggie ham slices to one of the stacks. Put the foil (and sandwich) on the grill and cover, to start melting the cheese. One it starts to melt, stack the cheesy side onto the hammy side, and ball it all up into a bomb of deliciousness. Let it cook on the grill for a few more minutes, turning frequently.

After a few minutes, pull it off the grill, open up the foil, and chop the ‘wich in half. Serve with a side of chips, pickles, or gloating.

    I bought some vegan rice cakes and placed a vegan rice cheese slice over it and it was delicious even though it sounds bland and only 50 calories for the whole meal. Trouble is I can’t remember where I bought the rice cheese,probably Whole Foods.

    This sounds really good. I haven’t been able to try any vegan cheeses yet–none of the local stores here sell any. I’ve put in a couple requests in the past, but nothing yet.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
