Italian Veggie Sandwich – an easy, quick, and healthy sandwich recipe to start any morning or for wholesome lunch/dinner. It features fresh vegetables and whole-grain bread.
We both are a fan of Italian dishes. No wonder I keep trying to incorporate Italian spices and flavors into different dishes we prepare. I try to make them quick while easy to follow when it comes to breakfast dishes that involve less prep time.
How to Make an Italian Veggie Sandwich?
I always feel excited when I sit down to write recipe posts for you guys and get distracted from the actual recipe. Now let’s get back to our recipe.
I used fresh green and red peppers, mushrooms, and onions to make this healthy vegetable sandwich. I sautéed them with fresh garlic and basil until nice and tender. Once cooked, put them on the toasted whole-grain bread of your choice. Add fresh tomato slices, some mozzarella cheese, and sliced olives. It hardly takes 15 min to prepare.
You can also use frozen mixed peppers to further reduce your prep time.
