Quick Facts
Yield: Serves 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
For the Main Dish:
4 slices whole wheat or sourdough bread
3 large eggs
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 medium tomato, sliced
1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce / Garnish (if applicable):
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
Optional: fresh chopped mint or dill, for garnish
How I Make It
Step 1:
First, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them gently with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the dried oregano. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just set but still a little soft—think creamy scrambled eggs. Remove from heat and fold in the crumbled feta cheese right before serving to keep that delightful tang.
Step 2:
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and quickly sauté the spinach for about 1 minute until it just wilts—bright green and tender but not soggy. Season lightly with salt.
Step 3:
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden and warm. A crunchy, well-toasted bread is key here because it holds all those juicy ingredients without falling apart.
Step 4:
To make the sauce, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic together in a small bowl. This zingy garlic yogurt adds creaminess and freshness—trust me, don’t skip it!
Step 5:
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the garlic yogurt sauce on each slice of toast. Layer on the sautéed spinach, scrambled eggs with feta, and tomato slices. Top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you have them handy.
Step 6:
Close the sandwiches, press gently, and slice in half. Serve immediately while everything is warm and the flavors are bright and fresh.
Variations & Tips
Swap the spinach for arugula for a peppery twist.
Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
For extra protein, add a slice of crispy bacon or turkey sausage.
Try spreading hummus instead of the yogurt sauce for a smokier flavor.
Lightly drizzle balsamic glaze over the tomato slices for a sweet tang.
Gluten-free bread works beautifully here—just toast it well to avoid sogginess.
How I Like to Serve It
This sandwich is perfect alongside fresh fruit like juicy watermelon or a crisp cucumber salad to keep things light. It also pairs wonderfully with a strong cup of black coffee or an herbal mint tea. For weekend brunches, I love setting it next to a bowl of olives and pickled veggies for a full Mediterranean vibe.
Notes
Store leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in the fridge and reheat gently in a toaster oven to keep the bread crisp.
If you’re prepping ahead, keep the scrambled eggs separate from the bread and assemble just before eating.
Closing: This Mediterranean breakfast sandwich always brings a little sunshine and a whole lot of flavor to your morning—making it a fresh, easy favorite every time.
