Drescription

These hearty breakfast sandwiches are packed with ingredients popular in the Mediterranean diet, including feta, tomato and spinach.

Ingredients

  • 4 multigrain sandwich thins
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 medium tomato, cut into 8 thin slices
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-fat feta cheese
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Split sandwich thins; brush cut sides with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Place on rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven about 5 minutes or until edges are light brown and crisp.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and the rosemary over medium-high heat. Break eggs, one at a time, into skillet. Cook about 1 minute or until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Break yolks with spatula. Flip eggs; cook on the other side until done. Remove from heat.
  3. Place the bottom halves of the toasted sandwich thins on 4 serving plates. Divide spinach among sandwich thins on plates. Top each with 2 of the tomato slices, an egg and 1 tablespoon of the feta cheese. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Top with the remaining sandwich thin halves.

Zuni s Pasta with Preserved Tuna

Adapted from The Zuni Cafe Cookbook (which can never be praised enough). Judy Rodgers created the recipe as a way of saving leftover tuna on Sunday. I assume you do not have that problem, but if you do, take the time to preserve the tuna yourself. It isn't hard and it is wonderful; you can find Rodgers's method in the Zuni cookbook. What's below is her adaptation for canned tuna -- good olive oil-packed tuna. As for the pasta: Rodgers recommends penne, ziti, or ditali, but I've made this with spaghetti and perciatelli and I was pleased. Also, while we're being heretical, have I substituted walnuts for the pine nuts before? I have.
