Description
The Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich is a vibrant, satisfying morning meal layered with smashed avocado, a perfectly cooked egg, sun-dried tomatoes, and peppery greens—all hugged between two slices of golden toasted bread. It’s easy to prepare, packed with healthy fats and protein, and brings the bold, fresh flavors of the Mediterranean straight to your plate.
Ingredients
2 slices sourdough or multigrain bread
1 ripe avocado
2 eggs
4 to 6 sun-dried tomato slices
1 handful microgreens or baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for toasting)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
1. Toast the bread slices with a light brush of olive oil or butter until golden and crisp.
2. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with salt, black pepper, and optional lemon juice.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, crack in the eggs, and cook sunny-side up or over-easy. Season with salt and crushed red pepper.
4. Spread the mashed avocado on one slice of toast. Top with eggs, sun-dried tomato slices, and microgreens.
5. Close with the second slice of toast, press gently, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use lemon juice in the avocado mash to preserve its bright green color.
Toast your bread well to keep the sandwich from getting soggy.
If prepping ahead, keep ingredients separate and assemble just before serving.
