This vegan Mushroom and onion sandwich is super easy to make and is delicious. It is one of the recipes that you learn by heart, and it is always perfect for the days you have no idea what to eat for lunch or dinner.
About the mushroom sandwich
Imagine the vegan version without the broth if you like the French Dip sandwich. I don’t add broth because I’m not too fond of the texture of wet bread, but if you don’t mind it, you can make a straightforward one with vegetable broth and soy sauce or eat it with an onion soup-type broth.
But really, this vegan mushroom sandwich recipe has so much flavor; you don’t need anything else. Serve it with a good salad on the side, and you will see what a delicious lunch/dinner you will have.
Ingredients to make a vegan mushroom sandwich
- Which Mushroom is best for this sandwich? I like this sandwich best by using a mix of several mushrooms; cremini, whites, and shiitake. You can use Portobello mushrooms, cremini, or white mushrooms. You can even use oyster mushrooms or make your mushroom mix.
- Onion. Slice the onion thinly and evenly. This will help all onions caramelize evenly, and each bite tastes delicious.
- Soy sauce, olive oil, and sliced garlic. If you don’t have garlic, you can use garlic powder.
- French bread or baguette. It is also delicious if you make it with homemade bread.
- Vegan smoked cheese. This is optional, but I feel it complements the sandwich pretty well. Use whatever vegan cheese you like the most. I used gouda from the Whole Foods brand. Make this nacho cheese recipe if you can’t get a good vegan cheese.
How to make a vegan mushroom sandwich?
It takes two simple steps:
- In a frying pan, add the olive oil, onions, and mushrooms with the garlic to caramelize until they become deliciously golden brown. Add the soy sauce to it.
- Put the mixture on a piece of French bread, put the cheese on top, and put it in the oven to melt. You can also grill the sandwich instead.

Tips & tricks to make the best sandwich
- Please eat the sandwiches immediately; if you leave them for a long time, the filling can make the bread soggy.
- You can also add mustard, vegan mayo, pickles, jalapeños, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.
- To melt the cheese and heat them, you can put them in the oven in the broiler function or put them in the toaster oven. I also love grilling the sandwiches.
- If you will make them with loaf bread or slices of homemade bread, heat them on a griddle (affiliate link) or frying pan with a bit of oil or vegan butter.
- Serve with a simple vinaigrette salad or the raw broccoli apple salad.
