Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 Carrots
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Pinches Salt (for sautéing carrots)
- 2 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 2 Pinches Salt (for carrot salad dressing)
- 1 Nobrand Ciabatta Bread
- 2 Eggs (for fried eggs)
- 2 Slices Processed Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the carrot salad, the star of this sandwich. Wash and peel the 2 carrots, then julienne them into thin strips. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the julienned carrots and sauté until they soften slightly, but still retain a bit of crispness. Season with 2 pinches of salt and immediately turn off the heat.
Step 2
Transfer the sautéed carrots to a large bowl and let them cool completely. Allowing the carrots to cool ensures the salad maintains a pleasant texture. While the carrots are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard, 2 tablespoons of vinegar for tanginess, and 2 tablespoons of honey for sweetness.
Step 3
Once the carrots have cooled, add the prepared dressing to the bowl. Add another 2 pinches of salt to season the carrot salad. Gently mix all the ingredients together with a spatula or spoon until well combined. Ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the dressing for a balanced sweet and savory flavor.
Step 4
Now, prepare the ciabatta bread. If using frozen ciabatta, take it out of the freezer at least 30 minutes to an hour before you plan to assemble the sandwich to allow it to thaw naturally. Thawed bread will be easier to slice and will hold its structure better. Once thawed and slightly softened, use a serrated knife to carefully cut the bread in half horizontally.
Step 5
Using a bread knife, carefully slice the thawed ciabatta bread in half horizontally. This will create the top and bottom halves for your sandwich. Slice gently to avoid crushing the bread, maintaining its shape.
Step 6
On the bottom half of the ciabatta, place 2 slices of processed cheese. The cheese adds a creamy and savory element, and also helps to hold the other ingredients in place. You can let it sit for a moment to slightly soften from the residual warmth of the bread.
Step 7
Next, prepare the fried eggs for a moist and rich texture. Lightly grease a pan and crack 2 eggs into it. Fry them sunny-side up to achieve a runny yolk, which will add a wonderful richness to the sandwich. Be careful not to overcook the yolks.
Step 8
Place the two sunny-side up fried eggs on top of the cheese-covered bottom half of the ciabatta. Generously spoon the prepared carrot salad over the eggs. Don’t be shy with the carrot salad – the more, the merrier for a flavorful sandwich! Finally, place the top half of the ciabatta bread over the fillings to complete the sandwich.
Step 9
To keep everything neatly together, wrap the assembled sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Wrapping the sandwich securely helps maintain its shape, makes it easier to handle, and prevents the bread from drying out.
Step 10
For easy eating and presentation, slice the wrapped sandwich in half diagonally. Use your bread knife to make a clean cut through the sandwich. The diagonal cut reveals the colorful layers of the fillings, making it look even more appealing. Enjoy your delicious homemade sandwich!
