I bought this because so many people claim it tastes just like Parmesan cheese (in vegan and vegetarian chat rooms, etc.). I don't think it tastes anything like Parmesan. Not just this brand, but any brand of nutritional yeast - just doesn't taste like cheese to me. But that's okay because I found it smells and tastes like toasted bread.
So, for me it tastes good sprinkled on anything I might normally eat with bread (like pasta) or anything I would normally sprinkle bread crumbs on (like veggie casseroles or mock mac & cheese, baked clams, shrimp scampi, etc.).
It's also a great nutritional filler for meatloaf and meat balls (regular or mock vegan style), or salad spreads like tuna*, chicken*, or egg salad, or for any kind of stuffing you might make, or mixed with a breading you might make for chicken cutlets. It can be used in any dish that you might use bread crumbs. It might not replace the bread crumbs completely, but it can be substituted for part of the bread crumb mixture for better nutrition and stronger/fresher bread flavor.
And it can be used to thicken sauces, gravies, or mashed veggies. Use sparingly for this purpose, until you get use to how much to use. It may be difficult to get the flakes to blend in.
* Most people don't know this, but many delis and restaurants will use bread crumbs to bulk up and thicken chicken and tuna salad. It's not just a way to extend the food (old bread crumbs are an inexpensive filler) but it also adds flavor and thickens these salads to make them taste heartier.
