Egg Sandwich with Ricotta & Mixed Greens


Description

Enjoy making your own, amazing simple, comfort food at shortages of these difficult Covid -19 times.

Ingredients

2 slices of bread (your choice)
Cooking spray
1 cup mixed greens (or whatever kind of green you like)
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Red pepper flakes, to taste/optional (I used about 1 tsp because I wanted it spicy)
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup ricotta (I used skim)
1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp green onion, chopped
2 large eggs

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. (Alternatively, you can toast the bread in a toaster if the slices are thin enough.)

2. Coat both sides of the bread slices with cooking spray.

3. Broil until lightly toasted, about 1-2 minutes.

4. In a medium bowl, combine the mixed greens, 2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper; tossing gently to thoroughly coat the greens.

5. In another bowl, mix together the red pepper flakes, minced garlic, ricotta, Parmesan, and green onions. Add salt and pepper to taste here, if desired.

6. Generously spray a nonstick cooking pan (use one that you can cover lightly with another lid-I used the lid for my big saucepan, and this worked well, even thought it wasn’t a perfect fit) with cooking spray and heat the pan over medium heat.

7. Crack eggs into pan and cook for about 2 min.

8. Cover the eggs and cook for an additional 2 min or until whites are set. Remove from heat.

9. Spread the ricotta mixture over each bread slice, top with the mixed greens and one egg.

Enjoy.
