Chibatta Sandwich with Coleslaw and Caramelized Onions
A delicious Chibatta sandwich featuring a vibrant coleslaw and deeply flavorful caramelized onions (or mushroom pesto)…
This sandwich is crafted by layering sweet, caramelized onions and a refreshing, crisp cabbage slaw inside a chewy Chibatta roll. It’s a delightful combination of textures and tastes, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Sandwich Ingredients- 2 Chibatta rolls
- Butter, for toasting
- Cabbage slaw (shredded cabbage with dressing)
- Caramelized onions (or mushroom pesto)
- 1 Egg
- Olive oil, for frying
- Leafy greens (like kale), for layering
- Wild arugula, for layering
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the Chibatta rolls in half horizontally. Heat a pan over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Place the cut sides of the Chibatta down onto the buttered pan and toast until golden brown and slightly crispy. This creates a wonderful base for your sandwich.
Step 2
On one toasted half of the Chibatta, generously spread the sweet and deeply savory caramelized onions (or your chosen mushroom pesto). On the other half, pile on a generous amount of the crisp and refreshing cabbage slaw. Feel free to adjust the amount of slaw to your preference.
Step 3
Next, layer your fresh greens. Add a handful of mild kale and a good portion of peppery wild arugula on top of the slaw. Then, carefully place a perfectly fried egg, with a runny yolk if you like, over the greens. This adds a lovely richness to the sandwich.
Step 4
Finally, place the top half of the Chibatta roll onto the layered ingredients to complete the sandwich. Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. This helps to hold everything together and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
To serve, carefully slice the wrapped sandwich in half. Presenting the cut side reveals the colorful layers and makes it easier to eat. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chibatta sandwich!
