Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ciabatta roll, halved
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 handful of fresh spinach
  • 1 thick slice of tomato
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Sliced olives (optional, for extra brine)
  • Roasted red peppers (optional, for a sweet, smoky flavor)
  • Fresh herbs like basil or oregano (optional, for an aromatic touch)

Equipment

  • Small skillet
  • toaster or grill pan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Cook the egg just the way you like it. For a sunny-side-up egg, cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. For scrambled, whisk the egg beforehand and cook, stirring gently, until just set. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. While the egg is cooking, lightly toast your ciabatta roll in a toaster or on a grill pan until it’s warm and slightly crisp.
  4. Begin building your sandwich on the bottom half of the roll. Start with a layer of fresh spinach, followed by the sliced tomato and avocado.
  5. Gently place the cooked egg on top of the avocado, then sprinkle generously with the crumbled feta cheese.
  6. If you’re using them, add your optional ingredients like sliced olives, roasted red peppers, or a few fresh basil leaves.
  7. Place the top half of the ciabatta roll on the sandwich, press down gently, and serve immediately while it’s warm.

Notes

For the best results, use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Toasting the bread is essential to prevent it from becoming soggy; you can also layer spinach first and pat the tomato dry to minimize moisture. The recipe is very versatile: feel free to substitute ciabatta with sourdough, use other cheeses like goat cheese or provolone, add vegetables like arugula or cucumber, or include spreads such as hummus or pesto.
