Veg cheese toast sandwich recipe with step by step photos – This is a Bombay style delicious veg cheese sandwich recipe.
I have been having these cheese sandwiches from the street side sandwich wallahs in Mumbai, in my school & college days, as breakfast or brunch. Even later when working, I would have these sandwiches for a quick brunch or lunch.
I have added most veggies in these sandwiches, except boiled beetroots. I have added onions, tomatoes, boiled potatoes and capsicum. I have also shared Cheese sandwich recipe which is made without the addition of any veggies.
I have toasted the sandwich. But you can also grill them as some folks prefer that way. An electric toaster or a handheld stovetop toaster works well to make these veg cheese sandwiches.
Toast and sandwiches recipes are easy and quick to make. Specially good for morning hours when you are running short of time. you can also pack sandwiches for tiffin box or for a short picnic.
For making toast, sandwiches or Bread pakora, I always prefer to use whole wheat bread or brown bread or multi-grain bread.
But honestly speaking the best taste comes with white bread. So there is always a temptation to use white bread knowing well that it is not healthy and made with all-purpose flour. But I choose health over taste, much to the chagrin of the other family members. And so this sandwich is also made with whole wheat bread.
Serve veg cheese toast sandwich with green chutney or tomato sauce. potato wafers and a cup of hot tea will also go well along with the sandwich.
How to make veg cheese toast sandwich
1. First prep everything before you start preparing the sandwiches. Prepare the chutney. Here I made Coriander-mint chutney. also, slice the veggies and grate the cheese. The cheese added is cheddar cheese.
2. Slice the edges of the bread if you prefer. Spread butter evenly on all the slices. Make sure the butter covers the entire of bread. A generous coating of butter does not allow the bread to become soggy, when you apply the chutney.
3. Spread the mint-coriander chutney on all the bread slices.
4. Place the onion, tomato, potato and capsicum slices. Sprinkle some chaat masala or sandwich masala on them. Also, sprinkle a pinch of black salt evenly.
5. Now top with grated cheese.
6. Cover the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices and place in a preheated toaster or grill.
7. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes till the bread gets toasted well and golden. Toast the remaining sandwiches in the same way.
8. Spread some butter on top of the hot sandwiches and Serve veg cheese toast sandwich hot with the remaining chutney and tomato sauce.

nice
Dear dassana, i made some veg sandwiches by following your recipes and all of them came out tasty. I was just wondering can i add boiled carrot to the sandwich as my kids like carrot and raw slices will be little difficult for them. If then, how should I boil it, with the potatoes? Will it take more time? Thanks..
Welcome Kimia. Yes you can add carrots. boil it with potatoes.
Hi dassana,
these toasts look amazing. Can i grate and use the same paneer that is used in sabzis here? I have seen some street vendors using paneer in sandwiches but never paid attention to the type that they use.
Thanks
Thanks Sarita. Its the same paneer that we use in the sabzis.
i m food lover
Wow….love it…
Actually i just wanted to request you for eggless mayonnaise recipe which doesn’t have black pepper and tastes like other yummy mayo’s available !

welcome akshaya
Thnkuuu soo much
i m surely going to make it soon now.. Thanku fr telling me d diff n use of cheese types.. 🙂
welcome heena
Can u help me out plz.. I m plannjng to make a few recipes.. Can u plz temme, if amul processed cheese, amul cheese cubes and cheddar cheese.. Are 3 if these are same thing???
heena, they all are different.
Lol.. Gud dat u told me.. I was going to bring cheese cubes and add it in these toasts.
heena, you can add processed cheese cubes also. in fact you can add any cheese. in mumbai style sandwiches, they don’t add cheddar cheese. but the regular processed cheese. cheddar cheese is expensive and is a kind of a hard cheese with a sharp flavor. sometimes they are matured also. processed cheese does not have a sharp flavor. but when you simply make an american style cheese toast, then add cheddar cheese.
can mozzarella cheese be added?? i dnt hav any knowledgeabout cheese.. just know about mozzarella n cheese slices.
heena, you can add mozzarella cheese. but it will have stringy texture like how you get in pizza. but taste will be good.
Oh.. Den i ll go fr cheddar cheese.. Can u plz temme dat amul brand processed cheddar cheese is gud or nt
amul brand is good. just check the manufacturing and expiry date before you buy.
Am in the medical profession experimenting with recipes my hobby found coating one side of the buttered bread with tomato ketchup adds a sweet sour tangy taste all else remains the same thank you for all your potato recipes and their meticulous pictorial presentations Dr Ghosh
thanks for the suggestion debdatta. in fact i do know some friends doing this method. gives a nice sweet and tangy taste.
Hey Dasanna, Love your blog.. i like your writing style and looks like layout is changed since i last checked-up (time flies away so fast).. If i may post my query.. Whenever i make sandwiches, they dont come out looking so quite good and snug.. Either the filling is oozed out or bread gets squashed. i am thinking it might be due to my sandwich maker.. i read that you are using bajaj, Can you please let me know what model you are using ?
It would be so helpful for me so as not to burn money twice again.Thanks. (btw i tried all your sandwich recipes, and the soggy toasts which my sandwich maker throws out is heck tasty, just imagining how it would taste if i can manage one good-looking sandwich)
thanks anjali. if you apply a good layer of butter on the bread and just place the stuffing moderately, then the sandwiches won’t become moist. also the chutney should be on the thicker side. i don’t remember the model as i gave away the toaster to my mom.
Thanks alot Dassana for your inputs. can you pls give some recommendations for a sandwich maker.
welcome anjali. first i had bajaj sandwich maker, which i gave to my mom, since i wanted to get one with a waffle plate. bajaj one was good and heating was quick. then i got morphy richards. the heating is slow as compared to bajaj, but the sandwiches are good. its even more lighter than bajaj model. in fact in both the sandwich makers, the sandwiches come out very well. i have got this one and it has a waffle maker – http://www.amazon.in/Morphy-Richards-SM3006-Waffle-Sandwich/dp/B008P7IYAS/
Yummy recipe.tried it for breakfast today.so easy,perfect to start a lazy weekend.
Thnkz.
thanks vibha. agree its an easy recipe.
Hey..why cant i find that tomato sauce recipe..
harkita, what problem you are facing. are you checking the tomato sauce recipe from mobile or desktop computer.
hello, what cheese would you suggest? I live in the US and each category of cheese has so many sub-varieties (Very Sharp Cheddar, Mild Cheddar, Pepper Jack Cheddar and the list is endless). I really miss the simple cheese we get back in India. My hands are itching to make this!!!
vaishnavi, mild cheddar or the regular cheddar cheese goes well.
During my trip to India I always craved this. The hotel where I am staying at was a perfect place for this one. During my vegetable carving class they served also.
I do not like mint taste. can I miss mint chutney or any alternative
venkat, replace mint with coriander/dhania
Nice recipes
yum yum and yum. I love these sandwiches that they sell on roadside thelas in bombay.
do you add sabja seeds to regular water?
thats nimbu pani in which the sabja seeds are added, preeti.
