I make this Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich when I want a hearty, flavorful start to the day that still feels fresh and balanced. It combines eggs, vegetables, and bold Mediterranean flavors into a sandwich that’s filling without being heavy.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s quick to make and packed with savory flavor. I like how the salty feta, tender eggs, and vegetables work together so well. I also enjoy that it feels special enough for a weekend breakfast but is easy enough for a busy morning.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
bread, pita, or English muffins
eggs
olive oil
fresh spinach
tomato slices
feta cheese
black olives
salt
black pepper
Directions
I start by heating a pan with a little olive oil. I crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to my preferred doneness, seasoning them with salt and black pepper. In the same pan, I lightly sauté the spinach just until wilted.
I toast the bread, pita, or English muffins until warm and lightly crisp. I assemble the sandwich by layering the eggs, spinach, tomato slices, feta cheese, and olives. I close the sandwich and serve it warm.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 1 sandwich, which serves 1 person. I usually spend around 5 minutes preparing the ingredients and about 10 minutes cooking. I like that it’s ready in about 15 minutes from start to finish.
Variations
I sometimes add sliced cucumber for extra freshness. When I want more protein, I include sliced grilled chicken or turkey. I’ve also added a spoon of hummus or yogurt sauce for extra creaminess.
storage/reheating
I prefer eating this sandwich fresh. If I need to store it, I wrap it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. When reheating, I warm it gently in a pan or oven so the bread stays crisp.
FAQs
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

I often use scrambled eggs, and they work just as well in this sandwich.
Is this sandwich good for brunch?
I think it’s perfect for brunch because it’s filling, flavorful, and easy to serve.
