This recipe combines the satisfying crunch of toasted bread with creamy eggs and a zesty arugula salad. Perfect for a leisurely brunch or a quick and healthy meal, these open-faced sandwiches are easy to make and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. While the bread is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them to your desired doneness.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing for the arugula salad.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the arugula with the dressing until evenly coated.
  6. To assemble the sandwiches, place a slice of toasted bread on a plate, top with a handful of dressed arugula, a sliced tomato, a cooked egg, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  7. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches and serve immediately.
