Description

πŸ₯ͺ This Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich brings a refreshing start to your day with a burst of flavors from fresh vegetables and a hearty egg.
🍳 Packed with nutrients and energy, it’s perfect for a filling breakfast to keep you going all morning.


Ingredients

Scale

2 slices of toasted bread

1 tablespoon hummus

1 handful arugula

1 egg

6 thinly sliced cucumbers

ΒΌ bell pepper, thinly sliced

Β½ avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon herb feta spread

Olive oil


Instructions

First Step: Prepare Ingredients Gather all ingredients. Toast two slices of your preferred bread, bagel, croissant, or pita to your liking. Thinly slice cucumbers and bell pepper for freshness. Measure out hummus and prepare herb feta spread by blending soft feta cheese with dried oregano and dried mint until creamy.

Second Step: Cook the Egg Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the egg 1–2 minutes per side for a slightly runny yolk or about 3 minutes per side for a fully cooked yolk. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred yolk consistency.

Third Step: Assemble the Sandwich Base Spread hummus evenly on one slice of toasted bread. Layer the arugula or spinach leaves over the hummus. Add the cooked egg on top, followed by the sliced cucumbers, bell pepper, and avocado slices. Make adjustments for dietary preferences: use spinach for a milder taste or substitute avocado with other healthy fats.

Fourth Step: Add Herb Feta Spread and Finish Assembly Spread the prepared creamy herb feta mixture on the other slice of toasted bread. Carefully place this slice over the stacked fillings to complete the sandwich.

Final Step: Serve and Enjoy Serve immediately for the freshest flavors and optimal texture. This sandwich can be enjoyed as a quick nutritious breakfast or light lunch. For meal prep, keep components separate and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.

Notes

🍳 Adjust egg cooking time to your liking for the perfect yolk consistency.
πŸ₯— Substitute arugula with spinach for a slightly different taste and texture.
πŸ₯― Experiment with various breads like bagels or pita for a fun twist.
