Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 piece Ciabatta bread
- 80 g Halloumi Cheese — sliced into 3-4 pieces
- 2 piece Eggs
- 40 g Baby spinach
- 4 piece Cherry tomatoes — halved
- 10 g Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Method
Preheat your grill to medium-high. Place the halved cherry tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with half the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 8-10 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
While the tomatoes are cooking, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat with the remaining olive oil. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt the butter in the same pan over low-medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula, creating soft curds. Cook until just set but still creamy (about 3-4 minutes).
In the final minute of cooking the eggs, add the baby spinach to the pan and gently fold through until just wilted.
Slice the ciabatta roll in half horizontally and toast cut-side down in a dry pan or under the grill until golden and crispy.
Build your breakfast: Place the scrambled eggs with spinach on the bottom half of the ciabatta, top with grilled halloumi slices, then add the roasted tomatoes. Place the ciabatta top on and serve immediately while hot.
Tips & Variations
- Don't overcook the eggs - they should be soft and creamy when removed from heat
- Pat halloumi dry before grilling for the best golden color
- Add a drizzle of hot sauce or sriracha for extra kick
- Toast the ciabatta well to prevent it becoming soggy
FAQs
- Can I make this vegan?
- Yes! Substitute the eggs with tofu scramble, use vegan cheese instead of halloumi, and ensure your ciabatta is egg-free. The result is still delicious and protein-rich.
- What cheese can I use instead of halloumi?
- While halloumi has a unique texture, you could use thick slices of mozzarella, provolone, or even grilled paneer as alternatives.
