Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich
Description
The Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich balances several fresh ingredients and a carefully prepared egg on toasted bread to create layered flavor and texture. An over-medium egg with a slightly runny yolk is cooked in olive oil to maintain tenderness. The bread is toasted for structure and crunch. A smooth spread made from soft feta cheese mixed with dried oregano and mint is applied on top, contributing creaminess and herbal notes.
Hummus is smeared on one slice to add flavor and moisture. Fresh arugula leaves bring peppery brightness, while thinly sliced cucumber and bell pepper lend cool, crisp texture. Ripe avocado slices provide rich creaminess, rounding out the sandwich. The sandwich components together create a balanced mix of creamy, crunchy, fresh, and savory elements suitable for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 lices bread toasted
- 1 tbsp hummus
- 1 arugula handful
- 1 egg
- 6 cucumber thinly sliced
- ¼ bell pepper
- ½ avocado
- 1 tbsp feta cheese herb, spread
Instructions
COOK THE EGG
- To make an over-medium egg, first heat a skillet of medium heat. Once heated, add a drizzle of olive oil and crack 1-2 eggs (depending on how hungry you are) and cook on each side for about 1-2 minutes. I like my yolk a little runny. If you do not like a runny yolk, continue to cook your egg for about 3 minutes on each side. Now let's toast the bread.
TOAST THE BREAD
- Place two slices of bread in your toaster to toast.
FETA SPREAD/SMEAR
- On a plate or in a bowl, add about 1/3 cup of double cream or soft feta Bulgarian or Turkish cheese. Do not use dried Greek cheese, it will not work.
- Add dried oregano and dried mint to the cheese and mix until a smooth and creamy spread forms.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
- First, smear the first slice of bread with hummus.
- Second, add arugula.
- Third, top the arugula with the egg(s).
- Fourth, top the egg(s) with thinly sliced cucumber.
- Fifth, top the cucumber with thinly sliced bell pepper.
- Sixth, top the bell pepper with creamy avocado.
- Finally, smear the last toasted bread with the feta spread and top the sandwich and take a huge bite! Enjoy!
