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.
If you like the French Dip sandwich, imagine that this is the vegan version without the broth. I don’t add broth because I’m not too fond of wet bread, but if you do, 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 is so delicious that you don’t need anything else. Serve it with a good salad on the side, and you will see what a delicious lunch or dinner you will have.
Ingredients to make a vegan mushroom sandwich
- Mushrooms. Use the mushrooms that you like the most. You can use Portobello, cremini, or white mushrooms. I like this sandwich best by using a mix of several mushrooms; cremini, whites, and shiitake.
- Onion. Slice the onion thinly and try to make the thickness of the slices even. This will help all of the onions to caramelize evenly, and each bite tastes delicious.
- Soy sauce, olive oil, and sliced garlic.
- French bread or baguette. It is also delicious if you make it with homemade bread.
- Vegan smoked cheese. This is totally optional, but I feel it complements the sandwich pretty awesome. Use vegan cheese you like the most. I used gouda from the Whole Foods brand. If you can’t get a good vegan cheese, make the nacho cheese that I put in several months ago.

Tips & tricks to make the best sandwich
- It is better if you eat the sandwiches immediately, if you leave them for a long time the filling can make the bread soggy.
- You can also add mustard, mayonnaise, pickles, jalapeños, 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.
- If you are going to make them with loaf bread or slices of homemade bread, heat them on a griddle (affiliate link) or frying pan with a little oil.
- Serve with a simple vinaigrette salad or the raw broccoli apple salad.
