Instructions
Sauté the veggies
- Heat a skillet over medium with 1 tsp oil/butter. Add onions/peppers/mushrooms first. Cook 3–5 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Add spinach last (if using) and cook 30–60 seconds just to wilt. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Move veggies to a plate.
Toast the roll
- Split the roll and toast cut-side down in the same skillet (or toaster) until golden, 1–2 minutes.
Cook the egg
- Lower heat to medium-low. Add a tiny bit more butter/oil if needed. Crack in the egg. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook sunny-side 2–3 minutes or over-easy (flip and cook 15–30 seconds).
Melt the cheese
- Place cheese on the egg for 30–60 seconds. Cover the pan briefly for faster melting.
Assemble
- Bottom roll → egg + cheese → sautéed veggies → top roll. Add hot sauce/pesto/mayo if you like.
Notes
Feel free to adjust seasonings and experiment with different veggie combinations or cheeses for a unique twist. Store leftovers separately to maintain freshness.
