Vegan Gruyère Cheese

Gruyère is a hard, salty French cheese. Vegan Gruyère is a soft, salty vegan cheese sauce that substitutes pretty well in dishes in which Gruyère would be melted. Props to Betty Rocker’s Vegan Gruyere Cheeze for inspiration for the recipe.

This cheese has some tang to it, and does well as an accent. I’ve used it in my sweet potato and kale gratin, and honestly need to get around to devising a French onion soup recipe.

Stay tuned. In the meanwhile, enjoy!
