Loaded with healthy vegetables, sunflower seeds and cream cheese, this Veggie Sandwich on an English Muffin is so filling and delicious that you won’t even realize it vegetarian. Try it for a quick and easy lunch!
After spending 10 years as a vegetarian, it’s still a way of eating that I come back to often. I’m always looking for new vegetarian sandwich ideas that I can easily make for lunches.
Trying to convince my fiancé and kids that not every meal has to have meat is challenging, but this Veggie Sandwich made it a bit easier because it’s made on their favorite Thomas’ English Muffins. I totally get it – I have loved those Nooks and Crannies since I was a child. Now, I find it fun to pick up a few packages from Walmart and experiment with different ways to use them for lunch and dinner recipes.
For this recipe, I took my favorite parts of 3 different vegetarian sandwiches that I’ve had to create the best Veggie Sandwich I’ve had to date that can easily be made at home! Cream cheese fills in all those Nooks and Crannies to give you a nice burst of tangy flavor in every bite. Then, the veggies get loaded on. I use lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, and sweet peppers. My favorite part is the added crunch from the sunflower seeds.
