Ingredients
- 2 slices of Milk Bread or any thick slices
- 1 tablespoon Vegan Butter
- ¼ cup Green Cabbage shredded
- 2 tablespoons Carrots grated
- 1 Green Onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Vegan Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 slice Vegan Cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onion. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then mix well.
- Toast the Bread: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread vegan butter on both sides of the milk bread slices. Toast each slice until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Cook the Veggie Mixture: In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and spread the veggie mixture into a square shape. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened and golden brown.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread vegan mayonnaise on one slice of toasted bread and drizzle ketchup on the other. Layer the cooked veggie mixture, a slice of vegan cheese, and the second slice of bread.
- Finish Cooking: Press the sandwich gently with the edge of a spatula and cook for an additional minute on each side until the cheese is melted.
- Serve Hot: Slice the toast in half and enjoy your vegan gilgeori toast while it’s warm.
