Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 2 slices whole-grain bread
  • Handful leafy greens (spinach or arugula)
  • 3–4 slices avocado (optional but recommended)
  • 2–3 tomato slices
  • 1–2 slices low-fat cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Dash of smoked paprika or chili flakes

Optional Variations

  • Feta cheese, olives, fresh basil (Mediterranean style)
  • Sliced jalapeños, salsa, cilantro (Southwestern flair)
  • Scrambled tofu and plant-based cheese (vegan swap)
  • Gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps (gluten-free option)
  • Turkey bacon or smoked salmon (protein boost)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Begin by whisking your eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook them gently in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just set but still moist and fluffy.
  2. Toast the Bread: Toast two slices of whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crunch. This adds texture and helps prevent sogginess once the sandwich is assembled.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Start with a base of leafy greens on one slice of bread. Add the fluffy eggs on top, followed by slices of tomato and avocado. Sprinkle your cheese choice and any seasonings.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Place the second slice of toasted bread on top and gently press down. Cut in half for easy handling and enjoy immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for more even cooking and fluffier texture.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs; leaving them slightly moist keeps each bite tender.
  • Add fresh herbs like chopped chives, parsley, or dill to elevate the flavor.
  • Choose hearty bread such as whole-grain or sourdough to hold fillings without getting soggy.
  • Prep ingredients ahead by chopping veggies or cooking eggs in advance for faster assembly.
