Top 10 Vegetarian Sandwiches

March 15, 2009 · Filed under Recipes · Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sandwiches offer numerous options for vegetarians. They’re quick, satisfying, and easy to take on the go. Here are my top ten favorite sandwiches. Feel free to add your own in the comments section!

1. The Italian – Basil, pesto, tomato, and fresh mozzarella on a panini.
2. The Fakin’ BLT* – Fake bacon (Morningstar Farms, Boca, or other), mayonnaise or Vegannaise, lettuce, tomato on toasted white bread.
3. The Health Nut – Lettuce, tomato, red onion, brown mustard, avocado and herb (krauter) cheese sandwiched between two slices of multi-grain bread.
4. The Fruity Bagelwich – Tomato, cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese), red onion, sprouts, cucumber sandwiched on a toasted bagel.
5. The Healthy Wrap – Arugula, feta, red onion, tomato (drizzled in balsamic vinaigrette) wrapped in a large tortilla. An olive or cream cheese spread is optional.
6. The Croissantwich – Scrambled egg (or without egg for vegan), cheese (vegan cheese) toasted inside a croissant until melted.
7. The Parisian – Brie on a baguette. What more do you need?
8. The Fakin’ Melt – Cheese (or vegan cheese) with veggie salami, veggie ham, or veggie turkey melted in two toasted slices of white bread.
9. Egg Salad Sandwich – Just like mom used to make. Eggs, mayonnaise, and a pinch of brown mustard, a slice of lettuce between sandwich bread.
10. Falafel Sandwich – Falafel, hummus, tomato, onion, and lettuce serviced in a pita. Falafels are very easy to make using mix from the store! And they keep a long time / make great snacks!
