Vegetarian sandwich recipes with cheese
For starters, when making vegetarian sandwiches, we have a key player on our side: CHEESE. Vegetarian cheese sandwiches are INCREDIBLE! Ooey, gooey, melted cheese, stacked with roasted veg, maybe some pesto, between grilled sourdough… …well, read our 37 Best Veggie Sandwich Recipes and find out for yourself! Aside from the million variations of veggie sandwich recipes involving cheese, there are some new classics arising in vegetarian sandwich recipes, which we have made sure to feature.
Other popular vegetarian sandwich ideas
Veggie avocado sandwiches, for example. Avocados are creamy, delicious, and full of health benefits. Popping them in a sandwich is a great way to get a load of their goodness. Aside from the classic avocado toast, you can smash them up with eggs or chickpeas or layer them with other veggies (or cheese – double-creamy!). Another popular vegetarian sandwich idea is the chickpea salad sandwich. This can be a great way to mimic the taste and texture of tuna. Or enjoy them with lemon and garlic. And don’t forget the sweet vegetarian sandwiches, like the humble PB&J! We have a few recipes which bring this classic to a new level, perfect as a vegetarian breakfast sandwich or healthy snack. With so many delicious vegetarian sandwich recipes, you will never eat a boring old cheddar or egg salad again (and if you want to shake it up even more, try some veggie quesadillas as well!)!
