We finally busted into that Teese log this weekend. First, we tried a bit cold straight off the log. Not bad! The taste is very similar to a mild mozzarella, well, as far as I can remember. 🙂 The texture was a little softer than Vegan Gourmet, but it had been sitting at room temperature for a while. Here’s a weird thing…when handling it to grate, it’s REALLY oiling feeling on your hands. But, it doesn’t really taste that way, cold or hot. They are not lying. It totally melts! We cooked these pizzas at 425 degrees F and at about 18 minutes we started getting some melting going on, but the bottoms were going to get too brown so we finished under the broiler. And as you can see, it melted up just fine!
Hamburger Pizza: ketchup, mustard, crumbles, tempeh bacon, dill pickle slices and teese on a Trader Joe’s crust
BBQ “Chicken” Pizza with Pineapple: Mah Wah chicken, Trader Joe’s BBQ smoky bbq sauce, pineapple tidbits, teese, Trader Joe’s crust
“Pepperoni” and Tempeh Bacon Pizza on Herb Crust
See, we had vegetables too!
Verdict? A++++ Would buy again! Next up, I’m going to try quesadillas with it.
