Nutritional Yeast Cheese

The most delicious, cheesy tasting yumminess to add to veggies, meat substitutes, or any other thing you think of. This is really high in protein and fiber . . . so it is essential for someone who can't eat nuts/soy/milk/meat.

Ingredients 
1 tsp Mustard (Harvest Grain Dijon is recommended by me!)
1/4 olive oil (don't use vegetable oil . . . that is usually soy oil!!!)
2 cups Cold Water
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup all purpose gluten-free baking flour
1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast (you can totally buy this in bulk at whole food too . . . then you can buy just a half of a cup and see if you like it first!)


Directions

Whisk together in a heavy bottomed sauce pan:
1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 cup all purpose GF flour
1 tsp salt

Place pan over medium-high heat and whisk in:
1 cup cold water

Continue whisking as sauce thickens, bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat,
cook 1 minute, remove from heat.

Whisk in:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp mustard
1 cup remaining water

Return to heat and continue to stir until the sauce get bubbly and kind of form the cheesy ball . . . yeah, it is pretty awesome. Let it cool down and try some! It is so good . . . like slightly sharp cheddar or something delicious.

Sauce will thicken as it cools, but thins down when heated.
