A good Mediterranean sandwich is unequaled. But make one for breakfast and you’ll make your whole day a lot better right from the start. This Mediterranean breakfast sandwich recipe is quick to make, is really filling, and totally satisfying.

I guess you could also call this an “avocado and fried egg sandwich”, but that doesn’t quite describe it. This sandwich has all those delicious Mediterranean flavors and there are so many ways to customize it!

Recipe Variations
- Try adding some extra seasoning by sprinkling on some za’atar or oregano in the mashed avocado.
- Swap lettuce with arugula for a peppery kick.
- Add cucumber slices for crunch.
- Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the sandwich.
Control The Runny Yolks
If runny yolks aren’t your preference, cook the eggs sunny-side up or over-hard for a firmer texture.

What You’ll Need To Make A Mediterranean Sandwich For Breakfast
Whole-grain or gluten-free bread – Use whatever bread you are most comfortable using. Avoid added sugar.
Ripe avocado – A medium avocado is fine, but the size isn’t too important here. It’s a sandwich. You can add as little or as much as you want. So buy your avocado accordingly.
Tomato – One medium tomato is enough for two sandwiches unless you like a lot of tomato.
Large eggs
Fresh lettuce – Any type will work. I used iceberg lettuce, but you can also use romaine or butter lettuce. Even raw spinach leaves are great here. Use what you have.
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper – Add to taste.
A pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika – Optional for garnish.
How To Make A Breakfast Mediterranean Sandwich

Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy, and fry your eggs to your liking. Mash the ripe avocado in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. slice the tomato and get the hummus ready.

Spread the hummus evenly over each slice of toasted bread.

Layer each with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, mashed avocado. Add a fried egg to each and top with the remaining toasted bread slices.

Slice the sandwiches in half for easier eating. Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
