Chili Crisp Grill Cheese (Vegan)

February 24, 2021 By Lisa Kitahara 6 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Spicy vegan grilled cheese with scallions, chili crisp oil and garlic butter. This scallion chili crisp grill cheese is crispy, spicy and bold in flavour.

I love the combination of spicy and melty cheese which is why Kimchi Grilled Cheese is one of my favourite combos! After running out of kimchi the other day, though and craving grilled cheese I figured chili oil would be the perfect swap and holy moly friends, this combination is wildly delicious. I also added some scallions for an additional touch of flavour.

As kids, my mom used to slice our grilled cheese into 'sticks' for a snack since we loved to dip our grilled cheese into ketchup (don't yuck it till ya tried it 😂), so I did something similar because I did find it a tad too spicy for myself.

It's the perfect combination! Hot spicy melty grilled cheese with a touch of cold sweet ketchup... SO GOOD.

Scallion Chili Crisp Grill Cheese

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 slices of your favourite bread (I used sourdough)
  • 1 ½ tbsp (22 g) vegan butter
  • 1 ½ tbsp (22 g) vegan kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 roasted garlic clove (or ¼ tsp garlic powder)
  • ½ - ¾ cup vegan cheese shreds OR 4-5 tablespoon vegan melty cheese
  • 2-3 teaspoon chili crisp
  • 1 scallion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix the micro grated garlic with vegan butter. Spread the garlic butter on one side for both pieces of bread. Place one slice on a non stick pan over medium low heat, butter side down. Spread a thick layer of melty vegan cheese and then drizzle on chili sauce of choice (the amount will depend on how spicy you like it, experiment!). Add a generous amount of scallions and then place the second slice of bread on top. 
  2. Let it grill until toasted and beautifully golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). I like to cook it until I see a nice char (almost burnt). Carefully flip the grilled cheese and continue to cook (about 2 minutes). 
  3. When you reach a toasty golden brown, remove from the pan. Slice, serve with ketchup (if desired) and enjoy!

    This sandwich was amazing!! I used chili oil instead of chili crisp, and a blend of Daiya and Chao vegan cheese. I will definitely be making this again.

    On a lonely night I pulled out the sourdough and whipped up this deliciousness. I have died and gone to heaven. It’s soooo good especially with the chili!

    I love a sandwich with crunch and this is the best way to bring crunch to your grilled cheese, hands down. Loved it, it was perfect. I think I’ll go make another.
