Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp. vegan butter or margarine
  • 1/4 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 slices whole-wheat bread
  • 1/2 pear, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded vegan cheese (Try Daiya's Mozzarella Style Shreds)
Instructions
  1. Melt 1 tablespoonful of the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions and cook until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Spread the rest of the vegan butter on both sides of each bread slice. Place one slice in the skillet and top with the caramelized onions, pear slices, and cheese shreds. Cover with the other piece of bread.
  4. Cook until the bread is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Notes

Our recipe theme for this month is "5 ingredients or less," and we're starting off with a twist on an old favorite: onion-and-pear grilled "cheese." This sandwich is super-easy to make and delicious, and it might even make you look forward to going to school just so that you can take it for lunch. Trust me—it's that good!
