I offer a variant of a delicious sandwich for breakfast with an egg inside. Cheese, herbs and runny egg yolk with crispy toast... mmm... what could be better?!

How to cook Sandwich with egg and cheese

Step 1

Prepare all necessary products. Cut out the center of one slice of bread.

Step 2

Put a slice of bread in a pan and very carefully pour an egg into the middle, lightly salt and fry on both sides for literally 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Lightly brown a whole slice of bread in a toaster or skillet. Spread a thin layer of curd cheese with greens, put pieces of Romaine lettuce and a slice of melted cheese on top. Gently place the egg slice on top.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sandwich over the zatar and serve immediately for breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee.

Sandwich with egg and cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese in this sandwich?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, or any cheese that melts well. The melted cheese adds a lovely flavor and texture.

I don't have curd cheese. What can I substitute?

Cream cheese, ricotta cheese, or even a flavored hummus would work well as a substitute for the curd cheese. They all offer a creamy base to complement the other ingredients.

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the ingredients ahead of time. Toast the bread and spread the cheese mixture, then cook the egg right before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy.

I'm trying to eat less bread. Can I make a low-carb version?

Yes! Skip the bread entirely and serve the fried egg and cheese on top of the lettuce. You could also use a low-carb wrap or even large lettuce leaves as a 'sandwich' base.

What if I don't have zatar seasoning?

No problem! You can use a sprinkle of dried oregano, thyme, or even a dash of paprika for a similar savory flavor. Alternatively, you can just leave it off completely.

How can I prevent the egg from sticking to the pan?

Make sure your pan is properly preheated and use a non-stick pan or a generous amount of butter or oil. Cooking the egg on medium heat will also help prevent sticking.

Can I double the recipe to make more than one sandwich at a time?

Yes, just double all the ingredients! If using a single pan, you may need to cook the eggs in batches to avoid overcrowding.
