🌿 Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or oat milk)
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• 3 tbsp tapioca starch (for stretchiness)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Blend the base
   • In a blender, combine soy milk, nutritional yeast, starches, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and spices until smooth.
2. Cook into cheese
   • Pour mixture into a saucepan. Stir continuously over medium heat until it thickens into a gooey, stretchy cheese batter.
3. Shape & Set
   • Transfer into a lightly oiled dish or mold. Smooth the top and let it cool. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours until firm.
4. Slice & Fry
   • Cut into thick slices. Heat a skillet with a little oil and pan-fry each slice until golden-brown and crispy on both sides.
5. Serve & Enjoy
   • Serve hot with fresh salad, grilled veggies, or tuck into a wrap.

🌟 Tips

• For extra flavor, sprinkle with dried oregano before frying.
• Use coconut yogurt instead of soy milk for a tangier, creamier version.
• Great for BBQs—just skewer and grill!
