Ingredients
Main 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
- Prepare the skillet: Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking and for flavor.
- Cook the egg: Cook the egg to your preference—sunny-side up with a runny yolk or scrambled with softness—and season with salt and pepper for taste.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast the ciabatta roll to add a crunchy texture and warmth to the sandwich.
- Layer the fillings: On the bottom half of the toasted roll, layer fresh spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, and the sliced avocado evenly.
- Add egg and cheese: Place the cooked egg on top of the layered vegetables, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the egg for a tangy finish.
- Include optional toppings: If desired, add sliced olives, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs like basil or oregano for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- Assemble and serve: Place the top half of the roll over all the ingredients, press gently, and serve the sandwich warm to enjoy its full flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for perfect creaminess and flavor.
- Customize egg style based on preference—poached or fried also work well.
- Fresh herbs add a bright and aromatic touch; use what you have available.
- Toast the bread lightly to avoid it becoming too hard and to maintain sandwich balance.
- Olives and roasted red peppers can be omitted for a simpler version or included for a stronger Mediterranean flavor.
