Meaty, briny kalamata olives and a splash of vinegar punch up a quick red pepper sauce for these vegetarian sandwiches. Use slightly thicker (about 1 1/2-oz.) bread slices to build a sturdy sandwich base. You can slice your own, or ask to have it sliced on the thicker side.

This is a great recipe and easy enough to modify/change up. My husband won't eat humus, so I used avocado. Also, I have micro sprouts that I put on top of the olive mixture. Delicious!! I wish I could add a photo of the dish because I took lots of them.

This sandwich sounds really good but there is no way a vegetarian will touch this because of the egg. Newsflash. Eggs become chickens which is a living creature.

I made this for lunch this week - it really turned out well! I was hesitant about the olives as I don't like black olives, but they mixed really well with the hummus on the bread. I really liked the squash as well - something different as a side!

Not sure why one would boil the bread when one could just use a toaster. Heirloom tomatoes are just coming on in our garden and they are a wonderful addition to this dish. I made up the pepper/olive mixture ahead and used over a few days for my lunch. I omitted the olive oil to cook the egg and just used cooking spray instead. Definitely a keeper.
