I grew up in Nigeria, where we called it toasted bread instead of toast. It wasn’t something we ate every day, but it felt like a special treat whenever our parents surprised us with it. Nigerian toasted bread was always worth the wait.
As I got older, I started to focus more on eating healthier. That’s when I realized I could recreate the toast bread I loved as a child—with a twist. Enter the veggie toastie: a delicious, wholesome upgrade to my nostalgic favorite.
If you’re a fan of toasted bread and want to try a healthier version, this veggie sauce sandwich toastie is a must.

- Place the assembled sandwiches in the sandwich maker and grill for 2 minutes, or until golden and crispy

Notes
- Bread Options: You can use any type of bread you prefer, such as white or whole wheat. For a healthier option, try whole grain bread.
- Vegetable Sauce Substitute: If vegetable sauce is not available, you can use other fillings like mayonnaise and sardine, egg sauce or peanut butter.
- Extra Fillings: Feel free to add cheese, or a slice of protein (like cooked chicken or turkey) for a more filling sandwich.
- Adjust Grilling Time: Cooking time may vary depending on your sandwich maker, so keep an eye on the toasties to avoid over-browning.
- Olive oil substitute: You can use 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine instead of olive oil.
