Ingredients
Making these vegetarian sandwiches is very simple and takes just a few minutes, especially if the spinach bread is already made. They are perfect to enjoy immediately, but you can also prepare them in advance as long as you wrap them with cling film, a damp cloth, and store them in the fridge. Now let’s see what we need to make them
- 1 spinach bread
- cherry tomatoes (to taste)
- lettuce (to taste)
- mayonnaise (the allowed one)
- salt
- extra virgin olive oil
- avocado mayonnaise (as an alternative)
Tools
No special tools are needed to prepare the sandwiches unless you need to bake the bread, then you’ll only need one
- 1 Loaf pan
Steps
How to prepare the vegetarian sandwiches
Prepare the slices: Trim the edges of the bread slices, pair them, and then spread them with mayonnaise.
Layer: On one of the slices, add the ingredients generously; remember, you can always use my mother-in-law’s foolproof method to fill the sandwiches, find it here
Close and cut: Close the sandwich and press gently, then make a clean triangular cut with a sharp knife. Now you have two options: either enjoy the sandwiches immediately or arrange them on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and a damp cloth, and store them in the fridge to keep them soft.

Spread mayonnaise on both slices of bread to prevent the tomatoes from making the bread soggy. Remember to dry any vegetables you use
