If you are looking for that cheesy flavor sans actual cheese, looks no further than nutritional yeast.  This is great for Vegans as it adds that nutty, cheesy flavor without any animal product.  It is high in B vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. It is the same species of yeast as that used in kombucha, beer and bread, but it is inactive (will not cause any rising).  Good stuff, just be sure to buy quality non-gmo, non fortified varieties.  I like this brand .
