Ingredients
  

  • 2 ciabatta rolls
  • 3/4 cup vegan goat cheese*
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh basil**

Instructions
 

  • PREP THE INGREDIENTS: If necessary, slice the rolls in half. Gather the rest of your ingredients and mince the fresh basil.
  • ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICH: Spread a thick layer of vegan goat cheese on each side of the roll. Top that with a layer of blueberries and a sprinkle of freshly minced basil. 
  • TO SERVE: Serve these sandwiches immediately or store in the fridge covered for up to 24 hours before serving on its own or alongside a mixed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Enjoy!
  • TO STORE: Storing leftovers separately and not assembled is always best. But, assembled sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. We do not recommend freezing leftover sandwiches.

Notes

  • Ciabatta notes: Always check the ingredients when buying rolls like this to make sure the brand you’re buying is vegan-friendly!
  • Vegan goat cheese options: We used our homemade vegan goat cheese substitute for this recipe, but there are quite a few store-bought versions too. Look for vegan goat cheese from brands like Spero and Treeline. We’ve tried and loved both of them! 
  • Vegan goat cheese subs: Any soft spreadable and mild-flavored vegan cheese would work really well for this recipe. Your favorite brand of vegan cream cheese can work too! If you’re looking for homemade solutions, try our Herbed Cashew Cheese, Vegan Veggie Cream Cheese, or Vegan Whipped Feta.
  • Herb options: Italian basil will work for this recipe, but lemon basil takes it to a whole different level! Mint, lemon balm, lemon thyme, or regular thyme could also work nicely.
  • Fruit options: Other berries or fruits like strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, or even cherries could work. Even a combination of the fruits you have would be wonderfully refreshing!!
  • Ingredient amounts are approximate depending on the size of your rolls and your own personal taste. Feel free to add more or less of any of the sandwich fillings to your preferences.
