Vegan Fonds d'Artichauts Mornay

[Artichoke Bottoms Gratineed with Cheese Sauce]


...everything's just always better smothered in a creamy buttery cheesy sauce...and that even holds true for artichokes...

...this is really a lot like the Vegan Fonds d'Artichauts à la Crème...just with the addition of some cheese...

...first you make the Vegan Sauce Mornay and pour that over the artichokes...in a buttered baking dish...sprinkle with cheese - I used Daiya Mozzarella Shreds...and dot with butter...

...about 30 minutes before serving place in the upper third of the oven and heat through...

...we had to turn on the broiler for a minute to brown the cheese...

...it's a pretty dish...it would be perfect for company too...

...hearty and cheesy - perfect for these chilly fall days...
