Introduction

This Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich is a flavorful and wholesome way to start your day. Packed with fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, and tangy feta cheese, it’s quick to prepare and offers a delicious taste of the Mediterranean.

A sandwich made with two thick, toasted golden-brown bread slices that have a crispy texture and some green herb sprinkles on top. The bottom slice holds a creamy light green avocado spread layer, topped with thin slices of fresh cucumber. Above the cucumber are several roasted cherry tomato halves in deep red with a slight shine. A fried egg with a bright yellow runny yolk dripping down the side and white, slightly crispy edges rests on the tomatoes. The sandwich sits on a white marbled surface with some scattered green herbs around it. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Storage

It’s best to enjoy this sandwich fresh to keep the bread crisp and the vegetables fresh. If needed, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in a skillet or microwave before eating, though the avocado and fresh veggies are best added after warming.

How to Serve

A close-up of a sandwich with three main layers between two thick slices of toasted golden-brown bread, slightly charred on top. The bottom layer has a green, creamy spread, likely mashed avocado with small bits visible. On top of that are fresh, green cucumber slices and roasted red cherry tomatoes, adding a vibrant pop of color. Above the vegetables is a fried egg with a bright yellow yolk that is broken, with the yolk spilling onto the white marbled surface beneath. The egg white is slightly crispy around the edges and seasoned with small bits of black pepper and herbs. Small flecks of chopped parsley are sprinkled on the egg and around the sandwich. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

You can prepare the ingredients in advance, but it’s best to assemble the sandwich just before eating to prevent sogginess and keep the vegetables fresh.

What can I use instead of feta cheese?

If you prefer, try goat cheese or a dairy-free cheese alternative for a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture.
