Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices whole grain bread (or sourdough for tang)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
Vegetables
- 1 cup fresh spinach (or kale)
- 1 medium tomato (sliced)
Other Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large egg
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the whole grain or sourdough bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp, providing a sturdy base for the sandwich.
- Cook the Egg: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook it sunny-side-up until the whites are fully set but the yolk remains runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spread Feta Cheese: Take one slice of toasted bread and evenly spread the crumbled feta cheese on top to add a creamy and salty flavor.
- Add Vegetables: Layer fresh spinach leaves and juicy tomato slices on top of the feta cheese to add freshness and texture.
- Top with Egg: Carefully place the sunny-side-up egg on top of the vegetables, creating a beautiful and hearty sandwich filling.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the assembled ingredients to enhance the flavors according to your taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Finish by placing the second slice of toasted bread on top and gently press down to secure all the ingredients together.
Notes
- Use sourdough bread for a tangier flavor or whole grain for added fiber.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with tofu scramble and feta with a plant-based alternative.
- Spinach can be swapped with kale or arugula for different textures and flavors.
- Adjust cooking time of the egg to your preference for doneness.
- Adding a splash of lemon juice over the vegetables can enhance the Mediterranean flavors.
