Best vegetarian sandwiches...

Just read the 'greatest sandwich in the world' thread, and am now craving a vegetarian equivalent. I have a few strong contenders, which I'll put in the comments.

Hit me up with your 'world's greatest vegetarian sandwiches', Mumsnet!

Houmous, grated carrot and jalapeno.

Felafel, avocado, basil and French dressing mixed with honey

Chocolate. Then fry the sandwich in a little olive oil.

Potato scone and Red Leicester.

I used to get sliced quorn fillet, roasted peppers, red onion and sage and onion (veggie) stuffing on a white bap at a sandwich shop near where I used to live...tempted to make the 6hour drive and go get one now!

Brie, walnut and cucumber. (Again, the brie seems to work best in crusty bread or a baguette).

Mixed peppers, red onion, tomato and grated cheese.

Crisps Grin

Love most of these. Grated cheese, grated carrot and peanut all mixed up with smidgeon of mayo and stuffed into pitta breads (lined with a bit of lettuce) was a student staple.

Still hunt fruitlessly for M&S Cheese and Celery every time I go in, just in case...it was the cool layering of the thinly sliced ingredients that did it....fab texture and slight creaminess. Tasted much fresher than other sandwiches. Plus have fond memories of M&S Swiss Cheese and Mushroom Pate......,also now disappeared. Come on M&S...how about a Retro sandwich range?

Beetroot, goats cheese and rocket
Brie, tomato and basil
Cheese, rocket and sriracha
Halloumi and roast veggies
Lots and lots of watercress in a big cheese topped oven bottom muffin
Pea sandwich - this was my sister and I's favourite after the pub snack. Bowl of just boiled peas with little bit of mayo and lots of black pepper and salt. Stack of buttered white plastic bread. Dive in.

A friend of mine turned me on to cheese, fried egg and Sriracha sandwiches! Sounds weird but it amazing.

Squeakymoo · 20/04/2017 22:13

mashed potato with butter mayo and cheese
veggie sausage sandwich butter and ketchup
crunchy peanut butter chocolate spread and banana between toast

grated cheese grated carrot and rated onion/finely chopped spring onion mixed with mayo
hot chips on thickly buttered white plastic bread with ketchup or salad cream
Lidl's cheese topped roll (the diamond shaped ones) with cheese spread and sliced pickled onion or beetroot

If you need something hot and filling, try a cheese omlette sandwich with tomato chutney. It's the absolute business. Best served in crusty bread.

SealSong · 20/04/2017 22:22

Emmental cheese and waldorf salad in a pitta bread. Delish.

Sauteed mushrooms and stilton in a hot baguette, with rocket leaves.

Germgirl · 20/04/2017 22:48

Our work canteen, which usually does the most hideous food, has a curried hummus and rockets sandwich. The hummus has whole chickpeas in and is quite strongly spiced, I've never seen curry hummus for sale but I'd imagine that some curry paste stirred into ordinary hummus would have the same effect.
It's bloody lovely 😊

DeliveredByKiki · 21/04/2017 07:03

Mashed chickpeas and avocado with capers, lemon juice and rocket

Roasted Veg slices and houmous

Mashed white beans and red onion, lots of salt and pepper

(From when I used to eat dairy) strong cheddar and salt and vinegar crisps/cheese and mushroom toastie

sexymuthafunker · 25/04/2017 18:34

Grilled haloumi, squeeze of lemon, fresh corriander, cucumber, lettuce, mayo, in a really nice bun.

sexymuthafunker · 25/04/2017 18:34

Anything with avocado.

sexymuthafunker · 25/04/2017 18:35

Cauldron sausages, butter, ketchup, cheese, in a baguette.

sexymuthafunker · 25/04/2017 18:39

Patak's aubergine pickle, cheddar cheese, lettuce, butter, baguette - yum!

Squeakymoo · 25/04/2017 21:57

mushrooms fried in butter with a sprinkle of celery salt, take off the heat and stir in a teaspoon or two of alioli (the one in the yellow pot) - in a crusty baguette.
strong cheddar with fresh beetroot (not pickled) and salad cream.
or just simply thickly buttered crusty white bread
cucumber sandwiches

NotMyPenguin · 25/04/2017 22:15

@sexymuthafunker that Patak's aubergine pickle is amazing! I've got to try this combination...

Onion bhaji, mango chutney and grated carrot on wholemeal bread.

KitKat1985 · 26/04/2017 19:44

My personal favourites are:

Brie and cranberry. Best in a baguette.
Halloumi. Best with pitta I find.
Veggie sausage with fried onion. Best in a baguette.
Fried egg sandwich. Best on plain white bread.
In Spain they sell 'bocadillo tortilla espanola' (I.E, Spanish omelette in a baguette) which is really lovely.
Sometimes I cook up some extra nut cutlets or veggie burgers and put them in a wrap.

Very simple but very good:
Really thinly sliced rye bread (whole grain if possible, even pumpernickel) plus grated really strong, aged cheddar, spring onions and good mayo. With quarters of cold crisp little gem type lettuce to munch on the side.

Home-made hummus, very, very thinly sliced fresh red pepper marinated in mustardy vinaigrette, wild rocket or alfalfa sprouts on thinly sliced wholemeal or even better very seedy granary. Or sourdough with seeds.

Egg with good mayo can be very nice indeed, but it's much, much better with lots of cress - or chopped watercress - and black pepper. On granary or other chewy /seeded brown.

Feta with the sort of marinaded red peppers you buy in jars plus chopped olives plus lots of fresh spinach or rocket. And vinaigrette. In wholemeal pitta.

Grated fresh mozarella with home-made coleslaw and a little chopped raw red onion plus mayo on soft granary bread.

As others have said, hummus plus grated carrot plus finely chopped red pepper plus salad leaves plus vinaigrette is pretty good, also

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 27/06/2025 18:08

Marmite, lettuce, cucumber and tomato.

Brie and apple.

Gorgonzola, apple and walnut.

Cheese and tomato/cheese and pickle - simple but delicious.

I have stopped eating bread since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so no sandwiches for me. 🙁
