Sandwich Making Kick

This Vegan Monte Cristo is just one of many sandwiches that I made during a sandwich kick that I went through awhile back. One of my all time favorites during that phase was my Vegan Teriyaki Reuben with Spicy Thousand Island Dressing, probably because it has my favorite flavor combination – sweet and spicy. Yum!

Another couple of recent favorites were my Roasted Cauliflower Sandwich with Red Pepper and Black Olive Tapenade and my Vegan Submarine Sandwich. I am eating low carb right now, so just writing this post is making me salivate!

Monte Cristo

I have seen many variations of the Monte Cristo, but as I understand it, it is normally made with cheese, ham or turkey, and dipped in egg before being grilled or fried. It usually has mustard or mayo, and served with jam. Like so many recipes, I had to veganize it. Instead of meat and cheese, I used tofu bacon and vegan Swiss cheese.

This Vegan Monte Cristo is sweet and savory with a touch of spice from Dijon mustard. Raspberry jam adds a tart, sweet component, and vegan Swiss gives this sandwich a rich, creamy flavor.

*Update since writing this: Thanks to a reader, the bread below is my new favorite bread. It is soft and fluffy like white bread.

It is Northern Bakehouse millet chia bread. I highly recommend it.

  1. OMG YUM! Obsessed with this healthy alternative to such a classic dish. I’m vegetarian and totally going to make this – but probably with normal bread 😉
