Vegetarian Sandwiches

For quick, healthy, and tasty meals, nothing beats a vegetarian sandwich.

Barbecued Tofu Sandwich
One of the things I miss most as a veggie is barbecue sauce, since it's typically eaten with steak or ribs. What can a vegetarian eat barbecue sauce with? I've just learned the answer: fried tofu. Give this barbecued tofu sandwich a try - you won't believe your taste buds.

BLT
Warm "bacon" contrasts nicely with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato, and makes a delicious, nutritious vegetarian / vegan sandwich.

"Chicken" Salad 
This simple tempeh salad really does resemble chicken salad. It's great in sandwiches or atop a green salad.

Deviled Tofu
This delicious, low carb deviled tofu can be spread on celery or bread, or served atop a green salad.

Egg Salad
This classic egg salad can be enjoyed in sandwiches or atop a bed of lettuce and veggies. Also see my recipe for mock (tofu) egg salad.

Felafel Sandwich
The crunchy chick pea nuggets known as felafel make a delicious and healthy vegetarian meal.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A grilled cheese sandwich, sometimes called toasted cheese, is one of the simplest and yet tastiest dishes around. There's something about melty, gooey cheese on toast that really hits the spot.

Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich
In terms of texture, portobello mushrooms are probably the closest vegetarian alternative to steak. While you won't be able to fool meat eaters with a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, you might convince them that a great meal doesn't necessarily have to include meat.

Italian Sandwich
Red, white, and green always make me think of Italy, and mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil are a classic combination.

Roasted Veggie Sandwich
A roasted veggie sandwich may sound simple (i.e., boring), but since roasting vegetables brings out so much flavor, even non-vegetarians will be delighted.

Seitan Cheese Steak
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is famous for its cheese steak sandwiches. Now you too can get a taste of this wonderful, hearty sandwich.

"Tuna" Melt
Warm mock tuna combined with melted cheese makes a fantastic open-face sandwich.

Veggie Sandwich
Whether you're on the run or just don't feel like cooking something, a vegetarian sandwich is just the thing: quick, easy, and as healthy as you care to make it.
