Tomato, Onion
Bacon Scrambled Egg Ciabatta

A gourmet breakfast sandwich featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, smoky bacon, sweet cherry tomatoes, and melted cheese folded inside a warm, crusty ciabatta bread.

Ingredients

• 1 ciabatta bread
• 1 egg
• 1 splash milk
• 1 stalk green onions
• 2 slices bacon
• 1/4 red onion
• 4 cherry tomatoes
• to taste black pepper
• to taste sea salt
• 2 strips cheese
• 1 tbsp beef sauce
• 1 leaf lettuce
• optional yellow and red sauces

Instructions

1. 1Reheat Ciabatta in Pan

   

   Place the room temperature ciabatta bread into a frying pan and add a little water. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes to restore its softness and moisture.

   Tip: Adding a small amount of water and covering the pan creates steam, making the reheated bread fluffy and soft.
2. 2Prepare Egg Mixture

   

   Crack one egg into a small metal container, then add milk and chopped green onions. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to combine all the ingredients and ensure a tender texture.

   Tip: Adding milk to the egg mixture increases tenderness and smoothness when cooked.
3. 3Cut Bacon into Pan

   

   Take a clean frying pan and use kitchen scissors to cut bacon slices directly into the pan into bite-sized pieces.

   Tip: Using kitchen scissors directly over the pan saves time and avoids dirtying a cutting board.
4. 4Add Onions to Bacon

   

   Cook the bacon pieces in the pan until they release their natural oils. Push the cooked bacon to one side of the pan, and add chopped red onions into the cleared space to sauté.

   Tip: Cooking the onions in the rendered bacon fat infuses them with rich flavor.
5. 5Pour Egg Liquid

   

   Add cherry tomatoes, black pepper, and sea salt to the pan with the bacon and onions. Pour the prepared whisked egg liquid evenly over the ingredients and continue to cook.

   Tip: Seasoning with black pepper and sea salt at this stage enhances the overall savory taste.
6. 6Add Cheese and Melt

   

   Continue cooking the egg mixture until set, then place cheese strips on one side of the eggs. Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and let the residual heat melt the cheese completely.

   Tip: Covering the pan immediately after turning off the heat traps the steam to melt the cheese faster.
7. 7Spread the beef sauce

   

   Take a spoonful of savory beef sauce and spread it evenly across the surface of the toasted ciabatta bread slice resting on the plate.

   Tip: Spread the sauce while the bread is still warm so the flavors absorb better.
8. 8Add fresh lettuce

   

   Place a fresh green lettuce leaf on top of the ciabatta bread layer that has been coated with the beef sauce.

   Tip: Pat the lettuce dry before placing it on the bread to keep the sandwich from getting soggy.
