Ingredients You’ll Need

- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons hummus
- 1/4 cup fresh baby spinach
- 2 thick slices of tomato
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
- 5 pitted kalamata olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper
Step-by-Step Directions
- Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown and firm.
- Heat olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set.
- Spread one tablespoon of hummus evenly across each slice of bread.
- Layer baby spinach, tomato slices, and olives on the bottom slice.
- Place the cooked eggs directly on top of the vegetables.
- Sprinkle feta, oregano, salt, and pepper over the eggs.
- Close the sandwich and slice it diagonally before serving.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve this sandwich warm while the eggs are still tender and golden. It pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad on the side. A hot cup of coffee makes the experience even better. This is a leisurely weekend treat you deserve.
If you are hosting brunch, serve these on a large wooden board. They look beautiful and inviting for your guests. Set the table with bright napkins to match the spring vibe. Enjoy this moment of calm before the day begins.
Keep It Fresh
This sandwich is definitely best when eaten immediately. The bread is crunchiest right after toasting. However, you can prep the ingredients ahead of time. Slice your olives and tomatoes the night before.
Store any leftover hummus or feta in airtight containers. If you have extra eggs, they stay fresh for weeks. For a quick morning win, keep your spinach washed and ready. This makes assembly even faster on busy weekdays.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure the eggs slide out easily.
- Don’t skip the dried oregano for that authentic herb flavor.
- Choose a sturdy whole grain bread to hold the heavy toppings.
- Slice your tomatoes thick so they stay juicy and fresh.
- Add the feta while the eggs are hot so it softens slightly.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the sandwich without squishing it.
- Try a lemon-flavored hummus for an extra bright spring zing.
Easy Flavor Ideas
- Swap spinach for arugula to add a peppery bite.
- Add a few slices of avocado for extra creaminess.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe allergy-friendly.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Try goat cheese instead of feta for a tangier taste.
Common Questions
Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Yes, you can certainly use egg whites to lower the fat. It will still be a high-protein meal. Just use about half a cup of liquid egg whites.
What kind of hummus works best?
Plain or roasted garlic hummus are both fantastic choices. The hummus acts as a creamy spread that replaces mayo. It adds great fiber and flavor to every bite.
I hope this sandwich brings a little sunshine to your morning. It is truly a favorite in my kitchen for a fresh start. Enjoy every salty, creamy, and delicious bite!
