Veggie Sandwich

ALRATIBA — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 21:37:11 GMT

I just got an email with a recipe for a veggie sandwich ... sounds good.

Ingredients ...

Toast ..... with:

Avocado
Mushrooms
Tomato
Almonds
Swiss Cheese

I "discovered" veggie sandwiches last summer ... always looking for another combo! My favorite has been "hearty" bread spread with either hummus or guacamole, cucumber slices, tomato and a slice of provolone (or other cheese).

@ALRATIBA I make the sandwich with both hummus and avocado, then follow with cucumber, tomato and cheese. This is not a veggie sandwiche but I use either a 22 grain bread or just rye bread, splash balsamic vinegar on each side, then put hummus on one size of bread and then sun dried tomatoes. Place other side of bread atop and sauté in a little bit of either hot butter or olive oil, for about 6-7 minutes on each side, till very crispy. Since you mentioned hummus, I thought I would post this recipe. We love any veggie sandwiche. The California Melt above, sounds great. We put nuts in everything but never thought of putting them on a melted sandwich.

Thanks.

@ALRATIBA Does the receipe call for "slivered almonds" or "almond chunks"? I would think the slivered almonds would be easier (and neater) to eat in a sandwich.

@ALRATIBA thanks, great idea - this being Lent, a lot of us have meatless meals

during Lent.

ON NO! That would be a dreaded sandwich for me! I alwaysl take tomatoes off a sandwich (except for a BLT) because they drip and get the bread wet, and avocados because they are squishy! And I'm not fond of cheese on sandwiches (but like cheese with bread or a cracker by itself).

Yes, I know I know but I can't help it!

When my husband worked at NSA in the 70's, there was this little hole in the wall health food store not far from where we lived. This store made the best veggie sandwiches for lunch, it was thinly sliced carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, Colby cheese, alfalfa sprouts on 7 grain bread. I think they used some kind of soy mayo on it. I still make that sandwich after all these years.

You have to get yourself some "hearty" bread.

We have bakery nearby Paris Baguette .... wonderful stuff! Also Trader Joe's and Whole Foods have good bread! It won't get soggy.

If you mash the avocado .... just spreads like peanut butter. And ... just leave off the cheese!

Yum! I love veggie sandwiches, especially in the summer. Lightly grilled (or not) Italian, French bread, or a croissant with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, thinly sliced onion, Muenster or Provolone, or Provel cheese, mayo and a big chunk of crispy iceberg lettuce! No wimpy thin slice of lettuce for me - I want the crispy chunks from the interior of iceberg lettuce!

@ALRATIBA LOL!!! No, we have all kinds of hearty bread! We actually bought WF bead today and love it so much we buy extra and freeze it ( think it was their ancient grain house brand) and we bake our own bread in a bread machine and by hand. SO that "ain't it!"

It's just that tomatoes drip and I HATE that. Now I will sit at the counter and lean over and eat a good BLT in the summer and let it drip on the plate! LOL!!!! Is anything better than that? And I WILL put some avocado slices on that if they aren't too soft! LOL!!!! So I'm sort of there!

You're dealing with one of those here! A kid who had to have her ice cream in a cup! I finally got old enough to deal with a cone and drips. . . but. . .

See, you didn't know that about me did 'ya? LOL!!!! This is a big confession for me. I know y'all out there are laughing.

I’m a serious carnivore, but I love a hearty veggie sammich, especially if they are roasted...peppers, zucchini, eggplant, etc.

We used to go to a takeout sub shop for lunch at work, and they had a veggie sandwich, too..I replicated it at home with surprising success. Theirs had mushrooms, diced tomatoes, pimiento, sliced (then sliced again) zucchini. and sliced summer squash. It was topped with thinly-sliced provolone, spooned into French or Italian bread, wrapped in wax paper, and heated to melt the cheese. I think I'd like the additiom of almonds (we always have sliced on hand). I haven't made this in a while, so I appreciate the memories--and my renewed interest, since I'm not the meat-eater in the house lol!

@ALRATIBA

I won't eat avocado (unless it's guacamole), mushrooms or swiss cheese. Wonder how almond and tomato would taste? Nah, I'll skip the whole thing.

There was a sandwich place in town in the late 70's called Yonny Yohnson--they made the BEST veggie sammie I have ever tasted. Was made with avocado, sprouts, red onions, cream cheese maybe tomatoes on a moist, grainy, brown bread. OMG !!!!! I used to put one of those together at home and it was nearly as good.

Everything but the Almonds would be good on sourdough toast.
