Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| White bread (pancarrè) | 12 slices |
| Eggs | 4 |
| Caciocavallo cheese | 60g |
| Avocado | 2 |
| Champignon mushrooms | 250g |
| Carrot | 1 |
| Lettuce (preferably fresh) | A few leaves |
| Radicchio (optional) | A few leaves |
| Butter | 2 tbsp |
| Fresh thyme | A pinch |
| Lemon juice | A few drops |
| Extra virgin olive oil | To taste |
| Salt | To taste |
| Black pepper | To taste |
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Mushrooms
Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Remove the stems and gently wipe the caps with a damp cloth to get rid of any soil. Slice the mushrooms into 7-8mm thick pieces. Once sliced, season them with salt and sauté them in a pan. Stir them occasionally until they are golden brown and tender. Once cooked, set them aside.
Step 2: Preparing the Avocado
Cut the avocados in half, removing the seed with a spoon. Scoop out the flesh and transfer it to a bowl. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the avocado, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy, creating a delightful avocado spread.
Step 3: Grating the Vegetables
Next, peel the carrot and grate it finely. Chop the lettuce and radicchio leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set all the vegetables aside for assembly.
Step 4: Grating the Caciocavallo Cheese
Using a large grater, grate the caciocavallo cheese. This cheese will add a wonderful creamy texture to the scrambled eggs later.
Step 5: Preparing the Bread
Slice the bread into 12 pieces, each about 1 cm thick. Toast the slices in a hot pan with a small amount of butter. Let the bread cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Once toasted, set the bread slices aside.
Step 6: Scrambling the Eggs
In the same pan, melt a little more butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the pan. As the whites begin to set, use a spatula to gently stir and break up the eggs. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves for flavor. Continue to stir gently for a couple of minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy. Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the grated caciocavallo cheese until it melts into the eggs.
Step 7: Assembling the Sandwich
Now it’s time to assemble the club sandwich. Start by spreading a generous amount of the creamy avocado mixture on the first slice of toasted bread. Top it with a spoonful of the grated vegetables (carrots, lettuce, and radicchio) and a few sautéed mushrooms. Add a portion of the scrambled eggs with melted cheese on top. Place another slice of toast on top to complete the sandwich.
Step 8: Serving the Club Sandwich
Carefully cut the club sandwich in half to make it easier to serve. Serve immediately, and enjoy this flavorful, hearty, and nutritious sandwich with scrambled eggs!

- You can substitute caciocavallo cheese with another mild cheese like mozzarella if preferred.
