Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free needs, swap the grilling cheese for a firm plant-based grilling cheese that holds its shape. If you avoid alliums, leave out the onion and garlic and add extra herbs or citrus for brightness.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or simple tomato cucumber slaw to balance the rich cheese and smoky peppers. A side of black beans or warm tortillas also fits well if you want a heartier plate.
