A bright and savory morning sandwich with creamy avocado, tangy feta, fresh spinach and a perfectly cooked egg on toasted ciabatta.

This Mediterranean breakfast sandwich became my personal weekend ritual the moment I learned how a handful of vibrant ingredients can transform a simple roll into something celebratory. I discovered this combination on a slow Saturday when the farmer market was calling and I wanted something fresh but easy. The contrast of warm egg and cool avocado, the briny pop of feta and olives, and the earthy bite of fresh spinach makes this more than a quick bite. It is an experience that wakes up the senses and fits beautifully into a busy morning or a relaxed brunch with friends.
What makes this sandwich special is its balance and adaptability. The texture is a study in contrast. The ciabatta provides a sturdy chewy base that can be toasted to add a pleasant crunch. The egg brings silk and richness, while the avocado adds creamy smoothness. Feta contributes a salty, tangy note that brightens everything up. These flavors have led to countless moments where family members asked for the same sandwich again the next morning. I like making a batch of roasted red peppers on Sunday to keep on hand and it elevates the sandwich when I want something slightly smoky.
In my house this sandwich quickly became a crowd pleaser. My partner who usually opts for savory oats will happily trade for one of these any Sunday. I remember bringing one to a picnic and watching neighbors compliment the balance of salty and fresh flavors. It is one of those simple preparations that seems to earn compliments wherever it goes.
My favorite aspect of this sandwich is how forgiving it is. When tomatoes are peak season it sings. In cooler months roasted red peppers bring a welcome smoky note. Family members often ask for an extra squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of oregano which always brightens the flavors.
Store components separately for the best texture. Keep toasted ciabatta in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. Refrigerate sliced tomato and avocado in a sealed container with a squeeze of lemon to slow browning. Cooked eggs can be refrigerated for up to one day. To reheat, warm the egg gently in a skillet and re toast the roll. Do not freeze the assembled sandwich. If you must freeze, keep fillings in separate freezer safe bags and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before assembly.
Substitute whole grain rolls for ciabatta to add fiber and make the sandwich more filling. Swap feta for goat cheese for a tangy softness, or use a dairy free ricotta for a lactose free option. Replace egg with firm tofu scramble for a plant based version. If avocado is not available use hummus for creaminess. For a low sodium option rinse canned olives and choose a low sodium cheese or omit salty add ins entirely.
Serve with a crisp side salad and a lemon vinaigrette for a light lunch. For brunch offer a small bowl of yogurt with honey and nuts. This sandwich pairs nicely with herbal tea or a citrus forward coffee. Garnish with extra chopped herbs such as basil or oregano and a grind of black pepper. For a picnic pack ingredients separately and assemble on site to keep everything fresh.
The sandwich borrows elements common to Mediterranean cuisine. Ingredients like olive oil, feta, olives, and fresh herbs speak to coastal traditions from Greece and southern Italy. The combination of fresh vegetable produce with simple aged cheese is a hallmark of the region. Serving a cooked egg alongside bright produce reflects a contemporary Mediterranean approach to breakfast that emphasizes balance and seasonality.
In summer use heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil for a bright, juicy version. In autumn swap fresh tomato for roasted beets and add a drizzle of balsamic for a more earthy profile. During winter use jarred roasted red peppers and a sprinkle of smoked paprika to introduce warmth. These small swaps keep the preparation feeling seasonal and satisfying year round.
Prep toasted rolls and sliced tomatoes in the morning or the night before. Keep avocado sliced with a touch of lemon juice to preserve color. Make a small batch of roasted red peppers to use across several sandwiches. Store everything in stackable containers to keep your fridge organized. Assemble right before eating for the best texture and flavor.
This sandwich is a joyful blend of simplicity and flavor. It invites small experimentation and rewards you with a satisfying bite whether served for a rushed weekday breakfast or a leisurely weekend meal. Encourage friends to make it their own and share the little discoveries that make the sandwich feel uniquely theirs.
Toast the roll lightly to add crunch and prevent soggy bread from tomato juices.
Season the egg toward the end of cooking to avoid drawing moisture out of the whites.
Keep wet ingredients separate until ready to serve if storing the sandwich for a short period.

Yes. Toasting the roll helps prevent sogginess from juicy tomatoes and gives the sandwich better structure.

This Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich recipe makes perfectly juicy, tender, and flavorful steak every time! Serve with potatoes and a side salad for an unforgettable dinner in under 30 minutes.

Place a small skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Heat until the oil shimmers and is warm enough to cook an egg without smoking.
Crack one large egg into the warmed skillet. For sunny side up cook covered for 2 to 3 minutes until whites are set and yolk is slightly jiggly. For scrambled beat the egg and stir in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes until softly set. Season with salt and pepper.
Split the ciabatta and toast it lightly in a toaster or under a broiler for about 1 to 2 minutes. Toasting adds crispness and prevents the bread from absorbing excess moisture.
On the bottom half of the toasted roll layer fresh spinach, a slice of tomato and sliced avocado. Top with the cooked egg and sprinkle two tablespoons of crumbled feta. Add optional olives, roasted peppers or herbs and place the top half of the roll on the sandwich.
