Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or oregano
2 slices whole grain or seeded bread
2 slices tomato
4 slices cucumber
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add chopped herbs, salt, and pepper, then whisk until combined.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until just set, forming a small omelet.
Step 3: While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a separate skillet or toaster until golden and crisp.
Step 4: Begin assembling the sandwich by layering one slice of toasted bread with tomato slices, cucumber, and the herbed egg omelet.
Step 5: Top with crumbled feta cheese and cover with the second slice of toasted bread.
Step 6: Optionally, slice the sandwich in half and garnish with extra fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use a non-stick pan to keep the eggs fluffy and prevent sticking.
For extra richness, spread hummus or avocado on the bread before assembling.
Don’t skip toasting the bread—it adds essential texture and helps prevent sogginess.
Swap feta for goat cheese or mozzarella if preferred, or try vegan cheese for a plant-based option.
Add turkey bacon or grilled chicken slices for extra protein.

Storage

This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh and warm. If needed, wrap it in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 1 day. To reheat, use a toaster oven or skillet to crisp the bread and warm the filling. For meal prep, cook the herbed eggs ahead and assemble in the morning for a quick grab-and-go meal.
