I love something special on the weekends for breakfast! It’s nice sleeping in a bit late, sauntering into the kitchen for a steaming cup of strong coffee, and getting a little creative. This breakfast (or lunch, snack or dinner!) Zucchini Tomato Basil Sandwich was inspired by a summer trip to my farmers market, where I found hearty heirloom tomatoes, tender new zucchini, and fresh basil. Based on only 5 ingredients, you can whip up this pretty open-face sandwich in only 8 minutes! It’s very plant forward—a great way to get your veggies in—with a smear of soft plant-based cheese to add a bit of creamy flavor and protein to the mix.
I have also made this easy, satisfying, gorgeous sandwich out of ingredients from my summer garden. Tomatoes, zucchini, and basil are some of the easiest summer veggies to grow, and this recipe showcases a beautiful way to use them up when you have them coming out of your ears. In fact, this photo (below) is taken right in the heart of my veggie garden, with my zucchini flourishing. You can even feature a squash blossom like this to garnish your plate.
This fabulous easy, vegan sandwich—based on summer produce zucchinis, tomatoes, and basil—is so easy you can cook it up in 8 minutes with only 6 ingredients.
