Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 1 ciabatta roll
  • 1 egg (sunny-side up or scrambled)
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 handful fresh spinach
  • 1 slice tomato
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for cooking)

Optional Ingredients

  • Sliced olives
  • Roasted red peppers
  • Fresh herbs like basil or oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Warm a small skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  2. Cook the egg: Prepare your egg sunny-side up or scrambled according to preference, seasoning it with salt and pepper as it cooks.
  3. Toast the ciabatta roll: Lightly toast the ciabatta roll halves to add a slight crisp texture and warm up the bread.
  4. Assemble the base layers: On the bottom half of the toasted roll, layer fresh spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, and the sliced avocado evenly.
  5. Add the egg and cheese: Place the cooked egg on top of the layered vegetables and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the egg.
  6. Incorporate optional toppings: If desired, add olives, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs like basil or oregano to enhance the Mediterranean flavors.
  7. Complete the sandwich: Place the top half of the ciabatta roll over the assembled ingredients and serve the sandwich warm for best taste.

Notes

  • To make this sandwich gluten free, substitute the ciabatta roll with a gluten-free bread option.
  • Use egg whites or a vegan egg substitute to make the sandwich lower in cholesterol.
  • If you prefer a stronger feta flavor, increase the amount to 3 tablespoons.
  • Fresh herbs can be adjusted or omitted based on availability and preference.
  • To save time, use pre-sliced or packaged fresh spinach and tomatoes.
  • This sandwich pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or a light yogurt.
