For the cheese sauce
- 1 tbsp plant-based butter
- 1 tbsp plant-based cream cheese
- 60g smoked plant-based cheese

Method
-
1.
Start with the caramelised onions | Peel and thinly slice the onions | Drizzle some olive oil in the small saucepan over a medium heat | Once warm, add the sliced onions to the pan along with the balsamic vinegar, Henderson’s Relish, sugar and salt | Stir, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and put the lid on the pan | Cook until soft and gooey.
-
2.
Meanwhile, make the smoked cheese mix | Place the plant-based butter in a small saucepan over a low heat | Once melted, add the cream cheese, grated cheese, mustard, milk, Henderson’s Relish and a pinch of salt | Mix well until everything comes together and cook on a low heat until the cheese sauce becomes stringy and cheesy.
-
3.
Make the butter | In a small bowl, mix together the butter and Henderson’s relish until it comes together.
-
4.
Finish the sandwich | Put a frying pan over a medium heat and add the Henderson’s butter, ensuring it coats the base of the pan evenly | Lay 2 slices of bread in the pan | Spoon the caramelised onions on top of one slice of bread before topping with the cheese sauce | Lay the remaining bread slices on top.
-
5.
Use your biggest, heaviest pan or a sandwich iron to compress the sandwiches | Fry for 3–4 minutes, then remove the weight, very carefully flip the sandwiches over and replace the weight on top | Fry for another 3–4 minutes | Remove the sandwiches to a wooden board, cut in half and serve.
