You know those mornings when you crave a super-satisfying egg sandwich — something more than your basic egg and cheese — but would prefer to add veggies rather than bacon, sausage, or ham? This sandwich is the solution. Layered with tangy goat cheese, a yolky fried egg, wilted spinach, and a touch of smoky red pepper sauce, it’s a vegetarian breakfast sandwich that hits all the right notes.

Give Your Egg Sandwich the Gift of Romesco

In case you’re not already familiar, romesco is a nutty red pepper sauce that hails from the Catalonia region of Spain. It has a silky texture that’s full of body and depth, masterfully walking the line between dip, sauce, and condiment. Of course, this makes it a natural fit for sandwiches.

If you’re up for it, you can make your own romesco sauce , or if convenience is the name of the game, simply grab a jar from the grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons

  fresh goat cheese

• 1

  English muffin

• 1 tablespoon

  plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided

• 1 ounce

  baby spinach

• Kosher salt

• 1

  large egg

• 1 tablespoon

  romesco sauce (store-bought or homemade )

Instructions

1. Let 1 1/2 tablespoons goat cheese sit at room temperature to soften while you toast the English muffin.

2. Split 1 English muffin in half horizontally and toast until light golden brown. Spread the goat cheese on the cut sides of the muffin.

3. Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a small skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 ounce baby spinach and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.

4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Crack 1 large egg into the skillet, season with a pinch of salt, and cook undisturbed until the whites are crispy and golden-brown on the edges and set, and the yolks are runny, 2 to 4 minutes.

5. Slide the egg onto the bottom half of the muffin. Top with the spinach and 1 tablespoon romesco sauce. Close the sandwich with the tap half of the muffin. Gently press down on the sandwich to compact slightly.
