Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat a pan over medium to medium-low heat.
  • Heat the vegan sausage link as directed by the instructions. Slice the link in half lengthwise then slice each long piece in half horizontally. Set aside.
  • Butter one side of each slice of bread with vegan butter. Place the buttered sides face down onto a plate.
  • On each of the non-buttered sides of the bread, spread a good layer of pizza sauce.
  • Place your prepared and cut sausage link on top of the pizza sauce on one slice of bread.
  • Layer the cheese slices on top of the sausage and then place the second piece of bread pizza sauce-side down on top of the cheese. You want the buttered sides of the bread to be on the outside of the sandwich and the pizza sauce sides of the bread to be on the inside.
  • Place the sandwich onto your heated pan and cover it with a lid. Allow the sandwich to slowly grill for a few minutes. Once the side of the bread on the pan has turned golden brown, flip the sandwich over carefully to brown the other side of the sandwich. Again cover the sandwich with a lid and allow it to cook slowly. Cooking the sandwich slowly under a lid allows the cheese to melt and the bread to not burn
  • Once both sides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the pan and place it on a plate.
  • Serve the sandwich warm with extra pizza sauce if desired.

Notes

Serve with chips or a salad.
