Elevated Egg Sandwich🥚🍞🍳🍅

This lil sandwich is pretty and delicious, and so quick! It’s a perfect meal anytime of day, not just breakfast. You got your protein, healthy grains, and even a veggie in your hands; what’s not to love? The addition of Zatar is what takes this egg situation to the next level.  Zatar is a middle eastern spice that I put in almost everything.  It’s hyssop, but I have no idea what that even means.

I use Ezekiel bread, which is the only bread I really eat, but any drier, denser bread will work. Typical sliced supermarket bread may get soggy, even if toasted.  It’s too weak.  I used to eat only the whites of the egg, but I started adding a whole 🥚to benefit from the healthy fats.

Ingredients:

Three or four eggs

One whole the rest whites (or up to you!).

A plum tomato sliced into rounds.

One or two spoonfuls of store-bought pesto sauce.

Zatar (optional).

Directions:

Mix the eggs and make a cute omelet, sprinkling Zatar about a tsp or more if desired before flipping. In another small frying pan sauté the tomato slices 🍅in a tbsp of olive oil, sprinkling with a drop of salt and pepper. Toast the bread, then spread with pesto when slightly cool.

Assemble: bread, melted tomatoes, and omelet. Add a slice of 🧀if desired. That’s it! The sandwich can be open faced which I do, or typical with both slices. This is a gourmet sandwich that looks like it cost $20 at some get over yourself, fancy coffee place.  Except you made it yourself with no attitude from the barista.  For extra effort, toss some greens in a light vinaigrette and serve on the side.  Feel free to make the egg sunny side up if you prefer 🍳, still sprinkling Zatar on top.
