i used to make grilled cheese sandwiches with vegan cheese and sundried tomatos. they were so good i ate six in one day once! (then i realized they were made with oats therefor i cant eat vegan cheese anymore. allergic to gluten)
At the risk of sounding very daft, how do you make a toasted sandwich? It is just something that I have never made, so am not very familiar with. Your ingredients sound quite tasty, and maybe this is a whole new thing that I need to try.

You can buy a sandwich toaster, just "butter" the outsides of the bread so it doesn't stick, fill it with your favourite delights, then toast it for about 5 minutes or so. Think they're about £20 over here
Not sure if it would work in a toasted sandwich maker but roughly mashed avocado on toast with a splash of lemon and/or Tabasco is delicious. Tomato and sprouted seeds are a good addition although the sprouts would presumably go limp if toasted
Vegan cheese and dill picallili
Fake ham and mustard
Humous and avacado
Peanut butter and lettuce
Vegetarian pate and tomato
Onion bhaji and lime pickle
Nut roast and cranberry sauce
Veggie bacon, tomato, basil and HP sauce
I like making this one (but due to laziness I don't do it often):
Tomato, Onion, Cucumber, Romaine Lettuce/or mixed Greens, babaganoush (eggplant dip)/also works well w hummus, salt, and pepper, and a sprinkle of olive oil doesn't hurt... all wrapped in pita bread.
More often:
Almond Butter
Almond Butter w. raspberry jam (or another berry jam)
Natural Peanut Butter w fruit jam (preferably raspberry)
I will make plain hummus or eggplant dip sandwiches... but personally I like dipping into the dips more than eating them as a filling alone.. it always feels like I'm eating more than I should...

My current favorite: toasted wheat bread, 2 slices crispy fake bacon, sautéed baby portabello mushrooms, and a slice of melted soy mozzarella. *drool* If only I had all the fixins right now.
Being the health-fanatic that I am I do not eat any sandwiches except for tomato and avocado OR salad sandwichs as other types of sandwiches are disrecommended for digestive and complimentary issues according to several nurition books I have read.
Occasianlly I am naughty and have pita breads with hummus and salad or roast courgette cherry tomatoes and mushrooms; or same with yeast spread and tahini; or salad and bean salad with yeast spread; or falafel mayo and grated courgette broccoli and carrot (all raw).
my favorite is hummus with anything. hummus with vegetables in a sandwhich or hummus with a veggie burger on top...or almond butter with blueberries (this is my version of pb and j sandwhiches b/c i don't like jam/jelly).
Right now my favorite is grilled vidalia onions, red peppers, green peppers, and mushrooms wrapped in a tortilla w/ a little vinagrette dressing. So I guess it's not really a sandwich but a wrap...
I love Sloppy Joes.....I also love hummus in pita bread with chopped romaine lettuce and tomatoes. I'm a big fan of falafels, too, but I don't make them very often...too lazy, I guess.....
In the summer, fresh-ripe organic tomatoes with vegannaise. Yummmm.
Almond butter with anything
Peanut butter with strawberry jam
Grilled vegan uncheese sandwich
Smashed avocado with hot sauce, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and garlic powder
I feel like something I could have in a hot sandwich. I guess a Pita Bread would be good. ( Except for the Wheat ) But I want something Hot. What is a good hot sandwhich without meat substitute.
I mainly use a wholemeal grain bread just from the supermarket - I looove Essene bread - (which I think is the same as Ezekiel bread) but it is more expensive and inconvenient (it isn't pre-sliced) - I am a student!!!
I like a "grilled" peanut butter banana sandwich on whole grain bread. I like Yves deli slices with romaine, tomato, Veganaise and dijon mustard on toasted grain bread. Pita pockets - garlicky hummous, lettuce, tomato, english cucumber and radish inside a toasty pita. Baked tofu slathered in a cheezy nutritional yeast sauce on a toasted sesame bagel, with crisp lettuce and tomato.
I usually only eat sandwhiches at resturaunts. At home i stick to almond butter/peanut butter with fruit, maple syrup or raspberry jam. sometimes i eat some lightlife fake ham with mustard.
i love refried black beans though in a tortilla, pb&j in a tortilla, hummus, olive spread, portabella mushrooms on a toasted bun, veggie burgers.
oh, and lightlife bacon on toast. this is great with margarine, with a margarine/maple syrup spread, or with vegan cheese grilled up.
Favourite vegan sandwich filling / bread spread?
