Best Breakfast Frittata Sandwich
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup parmesan - grated (optional)
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes
- Lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces ciabatta bread - toasted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, parmesan cheese (if using), a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Whisk the egg mixture well.

Stovetop Option
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and distribute it evenly across the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and check often.

Oven Option
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet. Add the egg mixture and distribute it evenly across the pan. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, then move the skillet into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
- Peel the avocado, remove the seed, and mash it with a fork. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
- Toast the bread in a toaster or on the grill.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread the avocado on the top half of the ciabatta bread. Add some lettuce leaves on the bottom layer, add a couple of slices of frittata, and four sundried tomatoes, then top each sandwich with the slice covered in mashed avocado.
