Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or oregano
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Vegetables
- 2 slices tomato
- 4 slices cucumber
Cheese
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Bread & Cooking Fat
- 2 slices whole grain or seeded bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Whisk and Prepare Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create a herbed egg mixture.
- Cook the Omelet: 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 it just sets, forming a small fluffy omelet. Remove from heat.
- Toast the Bread: While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a separate skillet with a bit of olive oil or butter or use a toaster until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Start with one slice of toasted bread. Layer on the tomato slices first, followed by cucumber slices, then place the cooked herbed egg omelet on top.
- Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the egg layer to add a tangy, creamy element to the sandwich.
- Finish and Serve: Place the second slice of toasted bread on top to complete the sandwich. Optionally, cut the sandwich in half and garnish with extra fresh herbs. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to ensure the eggs cook evenly and do not stick, keeping the omelet fluffy.
- For extra richness and flavor, spread hummus or avocado on the toasted bread before assembling the sandwich.
- To prevent sogginess, make sure the bread is well toasted and let ingredients cool slightly if newly cooked before assembling.
- You can prepare the herbed egg omelet in advance and refrigerate it for a quick assembly in the morning.
- This sandwich can be stored wrapped in foil or parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best texture.
