      1. Deli-sliced tofurkey, lettuce, and tomato, with dijon mustard.
      
      2. Fresh mozzarella slices, tomato, and basil- caprese pannini.
      
      3. Grilled eggplant cheeseburgers
      
      4. Cashew butter, fried plantain, and raspberry jam, on toasted rye.
      
      5. Jicama slaw. with agave syrup and lime juice between fried flour tortillas with cinnamon and sugar.
      
      6. Grilled zucchini fajitas, with grilled onions, peppers, and guacamole.
      
      I haven't tried any of these. just ideas.

      You all have great ideas and have given me inspiration . I am gearing my sandwiches towards teenagers and need to give all your great ideas creative names that will hide the great taste contents.  BTW one of my favorites is American cheese on choice of bread with mayo, sliced cucumber and celery salt. Try it ummm!

      Cream-cheese and tomato. cucumber and tomato. Red onion and cream- cheese. Sun-dried tomato, olives and cream-cheese. Curried carrot (shredded and simmered.)  Bean sprouts and pumpkin seeds.

   I love French goat's cheese (like a Valençay) sandwiches made using a freshly baked baguette.  You need a baguette because slice bread is too soft and it doesn't really help to delight on the texture of the cheese.

   marinated portobella, roasted reds, goat cheese, balsamic on a nice crusty bread.
   
   eggplant parm w/ mushroom and fontinelli
   
   mini veggie pizzas on flatbreads
   
   peanutbutter and banana on whole wheat with honey (super energizing)
   
   asparagus sauteed in garlic wrapped and cooked in croissant dough (pillsbury works) your choice of cheese melted inside
   
   
   ...just another tasty week at the sunforged household

      Mmm, these are great ideas.
      
      I also like taking whole wheat wraps, and slicing up all left over or soon to wither veggies so I use them. I take the sliced up veggies (tomato, mushroom, asparagus, salad, radishes...anything really), toss them in some italian dressing, maybe add some cheese and roll them up into a wrap.
      
      Simple yet delicious and not wasteful.
      
      Cooking a slice of eggplant in some light soy sauce will make it taste meaty if you crave a meat-flavor.
      
      Any veggies on bread with red pepper hummus is a great substitute instead of mayo.
      ^_^

         i really enjoy eggplant for just that reason, it takes to seasoning and one can really play with the texture..ill def try the soy sauce touch
         
         as a general thing - a little extra scorch/crunch on the bread or veggies seems to appeal to meat eaters and reformed carnivores a bit more as a replacement - hence why almost everything i suggested was a baked sandwich
         
         
         -and now I have to go eat! really

         sure, fold it in half !..or use two slices of flatbread and make it stuffed pizza style
         
         plus the flatbread part is pretty general
         
         try pita with feta, your choice of veggies
         
         or tortillas with cheddar, peppers, onions, any traditional taco toppings..good sandwich to keep your protein up with some blackbeans added
         
         or focaccia bread a little oil, diced tomato fresh basil, fresh mozz
         
         all are sandwich style and have minimal prep, set your oven or toaster oven to preheat - while you prepare it..the longest cooking time  on this list would be sauteing onions

      it really is energizing..short term energy from the honey long term from the carbs, plus the protein thats needed for healthy veg lifestyle
      
      its kind of ridiculous but occasionally ill make that sandwhich on french toast and def use cinnamon then
      
      But keep in mind..a very similar sandwich was an integral part of the creation of "fat elvis"...his fave was peanutbutter and mashed banana sandwiched fried in bacon fat!...of course he would eat a dozen in a sitting...that might have had something to do with it

      This is my breakfast most days of the week-- on double fiber bread. Filling, healthful, protien-- with a cup of green tea.
      You can drizzle some honey on it, but that makes it a little messy.

    Or I make Greek Salad pita pockets. Warm pita with salad tossed in a vinaigrette.
    Or I use a good thick sliced wheat bread and put a little veggie cream cheese, sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, and sprouts.

    I like slices of avocado with lettuce, tomato and onion.
    
    Sliced smoked tofu is good.
    
    A vegan friend used to spread bread with marmite and then with peanut butter when he wanted a replacement for cheese spread.
    
    A crazy favourite of mine is fried onion between bread spread with tomato ketchup.
    
    My mum liked a sandwich of lightly salted sliced radishes.

    You can try spreading some hummus in between two slices of bread for a snack. 
    
    You can also grill a portabello mushroom with cheese and put it in between two hamburger patties and you've got a veggy cheeseburger.

    I fry planks of tofu in my cast iron skillet, add fresh minced garlic. I can't have bread any longer, so I use corn tortillas (also quick seared in the skillet) to make more of a wrap. Fresh slices of tomato or avocado, a little sea salt. Slice in some sweet onion if you like savory. Heaven!
    
    Also fantastic- oregano flavored hummus with fresh sprouts in a seared tortilla.

    Depending on how strict of a vegetarian you are, eggs are a good option for protein. Also I've found that a lot of name brand vegetarian items like bacon, hamburger and chicken all taste very good (in some cases better than the meat alternative). A BLT with vegetarian bacon is amazing!
