- 1 handful fresh spinach
- 1 slice tomato
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a small skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to warm it up for cooking the egg.
- Cook the egg: Prepare the egg to your preference—sunny-side up or scrambled—and season it with salt and pepper to taste once cooked.
- Toast the ciabatta roll: Lightly toast the ciabatta roll to add a crispy texture and enhance its flavor, if desired.
- Assemble the sandwich base: On the bottom half of the toasted roll, layer fresh spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, and the sliced avocado evenly.
- Add egg and cheese: Place the cooked egg on top of the layered vegetables, then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the egg for that creamy, tangy finish.
- Include optional toppings: If using, add sliced olives, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs such as basil or oregano to customize the flavor.
- Complete and serve: Place the top half of the ciabatta roll over the fillings and serve the sandwich warm for the best taste experience.
