Gourmet Vegan Grilled Cheese w/ Strawberry Balsamic Compote

Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread or bread of choice
• 1/2 cup vegan cheese – we used Daiya mozzarella shreds
• 1 cup strawberries, chopped
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 handful arugula
• Vegan margarine – we used Earth Balance
• This recipe makes 2 sandwiches

Instructions

1. Add strawberries, balsamic vinegar and sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it reaches a boil, lower heat and cook until it reduces to a thick compote (about 5-10 minutes).
2. Assemble the sandwich by layering compote on both sides of bread. Add arugula, onion and cheese and lightly butter the outside of both pieces of bread. Grill the sandwich in a non-stick pan over medium heat until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.
