How to Make Bavarian Vegan Cheese Sauce

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the nutritional yeast, cornstarch, and salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
  3. Gradually whisk in the plant-based milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and mustard. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vegan butter until melted and incorporated.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables. Enjoy!
