BROCCOLI AND EGG SANDWICH



Broccoli and Egg Sandwich image

This was a specialty of my Grandma's. I remember when I was a kid she would sometimes make this for my mom to take for her lunch at work. Eventually Gram wound up sending about 6 sandwishes everytime because my mom's coworkers all wanted it when they smelled it. Grandma didn't measure anything, so these are estimates.

Categories     Breakfast Eggs

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 cloves garlic, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 medium shallots, diced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
¼ cup dry white wine, divided
¼ cup vegetable broth, divided
1 (19 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped
4 slices sourdough bread
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided, or as needed
1 bunch broccolini
4 large eggs
¼ cup finely grated Grada Padano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Steps:

  • Crush and mince 3 cloves garlic; crush remaining 2 cloves and set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cloves minced garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Pour in 1/2 of the wine and 1/2 of the broth. Add white beans, rosemary, and a good pinch of sea salt. Continue to cook for 3 minutes.
  • Mash 1/2 of the beans with a potato masher. Pour in remaining wine and broth. Reduce heat slightly, cover, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • While the beans cook, preheat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Once heated, drizzle each side of the sourdough slices with 1/2 of the olive oil. Set in the pan and grill until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Brush each grilled side with the 2 remaining garlic cloves and set the toast on a plate until ready to assemble.
  • Toss broccolini with remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined. Place in a single layer on the heated grill pan. Let them sizzle (likely in batches) until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and continue for another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
  • While the broccolini cooks, melt the remaining butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Crack in the eggs, and season each one with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook until whites are set, and yolks are at desired doneness.
  • For assembly, smear 1/4 of the white beans on each of the toasts. Top with a fried egg and a few pieces of grilled broccolini. Garnish with Grana Padano cheese and chives.

Tips:

  • Prep the Broccolini First: Before assembling the sandwiches, blanch the broccolini for a tender-crisp texture. Simply bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccolini, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Immediately transfer the broccolini to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve its vibrant green color.
  • Use High-Quality Bread: The bread you choose can make or break your sandwich. Opt for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy, such as a ciabatta roll, sourdough loaf, or whole-wheat bread.
  • Spread It On: Don't be shy with the spread! Whether you prefer mayonnaise, hummus, or pesto, a generous layer of spread will add flavor and help bind the sandwich together.
  • Pack It with Protein: Besides the eggs, feel free to add other protein sources to your sandwich, such as cooked chicken, bacon, or tofu. This will make the sandwich more filling and satisfying.
  • Add Some Crunch: Sliced radishes, celery, or cucumber can add a refreshing crunch to the sandwich. You can also add some chopped nuts or seeds for an extra boost of flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavors in your sandwich. A sprinkle of garlic powder, paprika, or dried oregano can add a delicious depth of flavor.
  • Make It a Meal: Serve your egg and broccolini sandwiches with a side of fresh fruit, yogurt parfait, or a green salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Egg and broccolini sandwiches are a delicious and versatile meal option that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this egg and broccolini sandwich recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
