My favorite sandwich of all time is Panera’s Mediterranean Veggie sandwich. I made it for the first time with homemade tomato basil sourdough bread and about passed out.

It’s just so good.

This sandwich is simple and easy to put together, and if you do decide to make the tomato basil sourdough bread yourself… you’ll be in heaven.

Why You’ll Love This Mediterranean Veggie Sourdough Sandwich

• Light, fresh, and full of flavor: Every bite has that perfect mix — creamy hummus, salty feta, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of sweetness from those piquante peppers that I LOVE. It’s a sandwich that feels indulgent but still light and wholesome.
• Quick and easy to throw together: Healthy, hearty, and ready in minutes once you’ve got all the ingredients on hand. The tomato basil bread is definitely the hardest part, but you can freeze the slices for quick sandwiches anytime.
• Vegetarian: It’s protein-packed, satisfying, and perfect for meatless Mondays (or honestly, any day).

Ingredients in the Mediterranean Veggie Sourdough Sandwich

• Tomato Basil Sourdough Bread: Two thick slices of my tomato basil sourdough bread make the perfect flavorful base.
• Hummus: I love the roasted garlic hummus – it complements the flavor of the bread perfectly. I also love the roasted red pepper version.
• Feta Cheese: A salty pop that balances the sweetness of the peppers and the freshness of the veggies. The texture is so much better if you buy the chunk and crumble it yourself.
• Sweet Piquante Peppers (Peppadew): This is the secret ingredient that ties everything together and makes the whole thing seriously delish. I like to chop them up so you get a little bit in every bite. If you don’t add these peppers, it’s not a Med Veg sandwich!!

• Salad Greens: Use a mix like spring greens or baby spinach for color and crunch.
• Beefsteak Tomato: Juicy, thin slices are perfect!
• Cucumber: Adds a refreshing crunch.
• Red Onion: A few thin rings give a sharp bite that cuts through the creaminess of the hummus and cheese.
