The Big Sandwich (for days you’re tired… but still hungry for life)

Okay.
This one is different.

This is not your low effort, minimal appetite breakfast.

This is for days when:

  • you’re tired

  • you have a LOT to do

  • but you still love food

Call it breakfast.
Call it brunch.

I call it:

The Big Sandwich

What you need

Not much.
Just intention.

Carbs Max

Start with bread.

  • baguette (excuse my French)

  • sourdough

  • or a good gluten-free crunchy option

You need something that holds everything together.

Fiber+

Salad and tomato are safe.
But not enough.

Let’s upgrade—with vegetables that actually work:

  • roasted bell peppers

  • zucchini

  • eggplant

  • mushrooms

  • spinach

If you already made the Great Omelet or a tchaktchouka base:

Use it.

Leftovers are strategy.

Protein Crazy

Let’s be honest.

Chicken wins here.

Why?

  • easy

  • accessible

  • already cooked

Buy a rotisserie chicken.

  • eat it for one meal

  • keep some for this

  • keep the bones for broth later

Cheap. Efficient. Done.

Vegan option: tofu, chickpeas, or lentil spread.

Fat Lover

This is where it becomes serious.

Pick your mood:

  • olive oil (1–2 tbsp)

  • avocado (half, mashed with spices)

  • crushed nuts (cashews, almonds)

This is what takes it from food to something actually satisfying.

Assembly

  • bread

  • vegetables

  • protein

  • fat

Close it.
Press it if you want.
Eat.

No aesthetic pressure.
No perfect layering.

One important thing

This is a real meal.

So take your time.

Eat slowly.
