Open faced sandwiches feel more like lunch, put a poached egg on top and they feel like breakfast. But we had these for dinner. They created a completely balanced meal with carbs, vegetables and protein. They’re also quick to make and look pretty.

These sandwiches are so perfect! And the photo is gorgeous! I tried photographing sandwiches and it’s so difficult!! Your picture is so beautiful :-).
Thanks. I find the trick to photographing inherently blah foods is to dress them up a bit. The added chilli and paprika on top of the egg make for a far more interesting photo. It’s a matter of playing with the colours and different shapes of the food.

This seems so easy and healthy too, Mona. I’m just tnyrig to find arugula in India. As usual, I love your video you’re way too cool sistah! ♥
You could substitute any salad green for the arugula. By the way, I am not Mona and don’t do videos.

This open sandwich sounds wonderfully balanced—the contrast of creamy feta, peppery arugula, sprouts, corn, and a runny poached egg must be delicious. The paprika and sliced chilli are great finishing touches. I also like how quickly it comes together for any meal. Try On Up brings a similar playful comparison to outfits by letting you preview diff
The feta-Parmesan mix with lemon and thyme sounds lovely, and I like the unexpected dinner-for-breakfast feel of a poached egg on toast. If you share photos of the finished sandwiches, removing location and camera metadata before posting can help protect your privacy.
The poached egg, tangy feta and lemon-dressed arugula sound like a lovely balance, and I like the idea of serving these for dinner. The recipe’s reminder that it isn’t low FODMAP is helpful too. 1 in 8 Billion also starts with real-world birth statistics, then lets you explore how one life unfolds through choices and relationships.
The combination of creamy feta, peppery arugula, lemon, and a poached egg sounds nicely balanced, and the note that this recipe is not low FODMAP is helpful context.
