Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the right ingredients is like preparing for a cozy gathering in the kitchen — each element plays a part in creating a harmonious experience. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 slices of crusty sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup of sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • A pinch of dried oregano
  • Optional: a dash of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice

Feel free to substitute the sourdough with whole grain bread for a heartier option, or swap feta for goat cheese if you prefer a milder taste.

Instructions

Let’s dive into the heart of the kitchen, where the magic happens. Follow these steps to create your own slice of Mediterranean heaven:

  1. Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano, and cook to your preference — sunny side up is recommended for a runny yolk that adds richness to the sandwich.
  3. While the eggs are cooking, brush the sourdough slices with the remaining olive oil and lightly toast them in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.
  4. Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the heat and set aside.
  5. Begin assembling the sandwich: place a layer of fresh spinach on two slices of toasted bread, followed by the sliced tomato, avocado, and the cooked egg.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta and sliced olives over the top, adding an optional dash of red pepper flakes if you fancy a bit of heat.
  7. Top with the remaining slices of bread, gently press down, and cut the sandwich in half for easier handling.

Cooking is as much about intuition as it is about following instructions, so feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. My mum always said, “A recipe is just a guideline; the heart of it comes from you.”
