Coffee

A hearty loaded ciabatta sandwich filled with creamy eggs, sausage, shrimp, and melted cheese, paired with a fresh cafe latte.

Ingredients

• 1 whole ciabatta bread
• 1 sausage
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp chili oil
• 4-5 shrimp
• 4-5 cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 green bell pepper
• 1 stick mozzarella cheese
• 1 stalk cilantro
• to taste black pepper
• as needed cooking oil
• as needed mayonnaise
• 1 cup instant coffee
• 1/2 cup milk for coffee

Instructions

1. 1Wash the ciabatta bread

   

   Rinse the ciabatta bread thoroughly under running water in a stainless steel sink before starting the cooking process.

   Tip: Ensure the water is clean and rinse quickly so the bread does not become excessively soggy.
2. 2Place the ciabatta and sausage in the pan

   

   Place the ciabatta bread and a single sausage inside a frying pan on the stovetop. Add a little boiling water to the pan, cover it with a lid, and steam on low heat.

   Tip: Steaming the ciabatta with a sausage on low heat softens the bread and cooks the sausage simultaneously.
3. 3Steam the bread and sausage

   

   Place the ciabatta bread and a single sausage into a frying pan on the stovetop. Pour a little boiling water into the pan next to them, cover with a lid, and steam on low heat.

   Tip: Adding a small amount of boiling water helps create steam quickly to soften the bread while cooking the sausage.
4. 4Crack eggs onto the lid

   

   Place a green bowl directly on top of the covered frying pan lid. Crack two large eggs into the bowl while utilizing the heat from the steaming pan below.

   Tip: Balancing the bowl on the lid is a convenient space-saving technique during single-pan cooking.
5. 5Pour milk into the eggs

   

   Pour milk from a carton directly into the green bowl containing the cracked eggs to create a richer custard-like base.

   Tip: Adding a splash of milk makes the cooked eggs much softer and creamier.
6. 6Add chili oil seasoning

   

   Pour chili oil into the green bowl with the eggs and milk. This serves as the primary seasoning since the plain ciabatta bread lacks a salty sauce.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of chili oil depending on your preferred level of spice.
7. 7Whisk the egg and seasoning mixture

   

   Crack two large eggs into a green bowl placed on top of the pan lid, pour in milk, and add chili oil for seasoning. Use chopsticks to whisk the ingredients together thoroughly.

   Tip: Using chili oil as a seasoning adds flavor and heat since the ciabatta lacks a salty sauce.
8. 8Slice the cooked sausage in the pan

   

   Remove the bread from the pan and wipe the pan clean. Spray the pan with oil, then use kitchen scissors to cut the pre-cooked sausage directly inside the pan.

   Tip: Using scissors makes slicing the sausage directly in the pan quick and convenient.
9. 9Add shrimp and seasonings

   

   Add a few fresh shrimp and a sprinkle of black pepper into the frying pan alongside the sliced sausage.

   Tip: Seasoning the sliced sausage and shrimp with black pepper enhances the savory aroma.
10. 10Add vegetables to the pan

    

    Add cherry tomatoes and cut pieces of green pepper using scissors directly into the frying pan, then stir-fry all the ingredients together.

    Tip: Cutting vegetables directly with scissors saves prep time and keeps the workstation clean.
11. 11Add cilantro to the pan

    

    Take fresh cilantro and use kitchen scissors to snip it directly into the frying pan containing the stir-fried sausage, shrimp, tomatoes, and peppers.

    Tip: Using scissors allows for quick and precise cutting directly over the hot pan.
12. 12Pour the egg mixture

    

    Pour the whisked egg and chili oil mixture from the green bowl directly into the frying pan over the stir-fried vegetables and meats, ensuring it coats the ingredients evenly.

    Tip: Make sure the heat is moderate so the eggs dont set instantly before you can mix them with the toppings.
13. 13Stir and cook the mixture

    

    Use a spatula to gently stir and cook the egg mixture along with the vegetables and meats in the pan until the eggs begin to set.

    Tip: Stir continuously to keep the texture soft and well-distributed.
14. 14Add mozzarella cheese strips

    

    Take a mozzarella cheese stick, break it into strips, and place them evenly across the top of the cooked egg mixture in the pan.

    Tip: Distribute the cheese strips evenly so they melt across the entire surface when covered.
