Assemble the Melt

• Butter the slices of sourdough bread, then top one slice with a slice of vegan cheese and a scoop of the chickpea and carrot mixture. Top off the sandwich with the other slice of bread, then bake on a parchment-lined sheet pan for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is toasty and the cheese is starting to melt. Serve warm.
