I love a quick, bright meal and the Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich is one I make often. It is full of fresh flavors and it comes together fast, perfect for busy mornings or a slow weekend.
Dad James taught me to pack flavor into simple foods, and this sandwich made him smile every time.
What You’ll Need
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 whole grain sandwich bun or english muffin
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
My Trusted Kitchen Tools
I keep things simple. I use a nonstick skillet, a small whisk, and a toaster. For quick clean up I like a silicone spatula and a small bowl to beat the eggs. For more easy breakfast ideas I often pair this with my breakfast protein biscuits recipe.
Bringing It All Together
- Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the spinach until it wilts.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet with the spinach and add the diced tomato.
- Cook until the eggs set.
- Remove from heat and stir in the feta.
- Toast the bun or muffin.
- Place the egg mix on the bottom half and top with the other half.
- Serve warm.
Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)
Swap the feta for goat cheese or cheddar if you like. Use arugula or kale if you do not have spinach. Try a whole wheat pita instead of a bun. For a fun twist try ideas from my breakfast pizza hash brown crust for a weekend treat.
How We Love to Serve It
We eat this warm with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad. It pairs well with strong black coffee or a mint tea. I sometimes add a little hot sauce for extra heat.
A Few Tips For Success
Cook the spinach just until it wilts so it keeps a bright color. Beat the eggs well so they cook evenly. Crumble the feta after you remove the pan from the heat to keep it creamy.
Saving Some For Later
Cool the sandwich before you wrap it in foil. Store in the fridge and eat within one day for best taste. Reheat in a low oven or in a skillet to keep the bun from getting soggy.
From My Kitchen to Yours
I hope this simple sandwich brings bright flavor to your morning. It is quick, healthy, and made with easy pantry items. Make it your own and enjoy.
