Eggs with Provolone Cheese, Pesto, and Bacon on Ciabatta Bread
Ciabatta bread, with its airy texture and chewy crust, has become a popular choice for sandwiches due to its versatility and ability to hold various fillings without becoming soggy. Scrambled eggs and bacon are classic breakfast ingredients that provide protein and flavor to the sandwich. Pesto, a sauce made from basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, adds a fresh and herbaceous element to the dish.
The combination of these ingredients likely arose from a desire to create a hearty and flavorful breakfast or brunch option that incorporates both classic and modern flavors. While the exact origin of this specific sandwich may be difficult to trace, it has become a popular choice at cafes and restaurants that offer breakfast and brunch menus.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
Sea salt and pepper to taste
4 provolone cheese slices
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
6 slices of bacon
2 ciabatta rolls
Butter for toasting the rolls
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with sea salt and pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the whisked eggs. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still slightly creamy.
Add the shredded provolone cheese to the scrambled eggs and stir until the cheese is melted and incorporated.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them with a little butter in a separate skillet until golden brown.
Spread pesto sauce on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll.
Spoon the scrambled eggs with provolone cheese over the pesto on each ciabatta roll, then top with the chopped bacon.
Place the top half of the ciabatta roll on each sandwich to complete it.
Serve the scrambled eggs with provolone cheese, pesto, and bacon on ciabatta bread warm and enjoy!
