Ingredients

For the Aromatic Eggs

  • 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 small garlic clove finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons mixed fresh oregano and thyme finely chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • A slight pinch of sea salt
  • Coarsely ground black pepper to taste

For Sandwich Assembly

  • 3 whole-wheat sandwich thins
  • 1 ¾ cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 medium vine-ripened tomato cut into 6 thin slices
  • 3 tablespoons crumbled full-fat feta cheese

Instructions

  • Begin by heating your oven to 190°C (375°F). Split the sandwich thins and arrange them on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Lightly coat the interior surfaces with 1 ½ teaspoons of the olive oil. Toast for approximately 5 minutes, until the edges are golden and crisp.
  • While the buns are toasting, warm the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, one at a time. Allow them to cook for about a minute, or until the whites are firm but the yolks remain liquid. Gently break the yolks with your spatula, then flip the eggs and continue cooking until they reach your desired doneness.
  • To assemble, place the toasted bottom halves of the sandwich thins on three plates. Arrange a layer of fresh spinach on each, followed by two slices of tomato. Place one herb-infused egg on top of the tomato, then sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of feta cheese, a pinch of sea salt, and a grind of black pepper. Complete the sandwiches with the top halves of the buns and serve immediately.
