The Sandwich That Got My Brother to Eat Tomatoes!
2 thick slices whole wheat bread
vegan cream cheese (I like Tofutti), to taste
1 good summer tomato, sliced thinly
red onion, to taste, sliced thinly
black pepper, to taste
healthy sprinkle oregano
healthy sprinkle chives
vegan margarine (I like Earth Balance)
garlic and herb blend spice (mine is McCormick salt-free)
1. Spread one side of each slice of the bread with a thin layer of cream cheese. Layer the thinly sliced tomatoes and onion over one side, pausing often to sprinkle with black pepper, and oregano.
2. Sprinkle the other cream-cheesed side of the bread with chives. Lots of chives. Close sandwich and spread outside sides of bread with vegan margarine.
3. Sprinkle with garlic herb seasoning in manner of garlic bread. Grill like a grilled cheese sandwich.
I made this for my 12-year-old brother, who insists that tomatoes (well, most vegetables actually) are unfit for human consumption, and he devoured it. He said it tasted better with "all those secret spices."
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This sandwich is way to good to be true!
even my mom who thinks vegan food is gross loved it! ;)b
So simple and so delicious!!! I didn't think to take a pic until I was halfway done...LOL!!!
This was really good! I didn't have any red onion so I left it out. I love how cheesy the tofutti tastes when it is melted. I will make this lots!
Ummmmm...FREAKIN' DELICIOUS!!!
OMG, pineapple! This was fantastic! It's so good, I ran out to the market to get more tomatoes! I made it in a whole wheat pita and layered in some fresh basil leaves I got growing....mmm...the only problem is, when I'm done, I always wish I had another one...which I'm too lazy to go make...yummy!
i made this sandwhich again but because i was short on time i didnt bother grilling it. i warmed it in the mircowave for 30 seconds and it was still so good! this time i also added sliced enlgish cucumber, capers, and diced cornichons. (this adds a saltyness that reminds me of my favorite bagel shops specialty cream cheese flavor, but better!) in all honesty, this is my favorite sandwhich, ever.
oh my gosh...this is the best sandwhich ever!!! i just made this for dinner following the recipe exactly but on my panini grill, using lavash bread with a home grown tomato and fresh basil. i also added thinly sliced english cucumber (after it was grilled to prevent soggyness) im in love!

Ok wow! I was really in the mood for something easy and simple, as I am usually a complicated recipe kinda gal and I gotta tell ya....YUMMMMMO! I used wheat bread, tofutti, roma tomatos, fresh scallions, instead of red onion as I didnt have any on hand, and it was perfect! I am mighty full, and I love that is it like a grilled cheese. I used fresh oregano and garlic powder on the top portion with soy butter and it was delish..thanks so much to your little brother and you!! :) ;)b Erin~
The recipe doesn't look like much, but WOW, this was TASTY! I just ate 2 for dinner! Plus, it took less than 10 minutes! It fills the spot of grilled cheese. Try it.
Wow! This is my new favie! I just can't get enough. :o
