Sourdough Ciabatta Flats: Canadian Breakfast Sandwiches
Sam Muller
PUBLISHED November 10, 2026
If I’m working with any ingredient and I say the word “about,” the Canadian in me shows. When I hear anyone mention “maple” anything, my inner child gets excited. And, when I think about sourdough ciabatta flats, breakfast sandwiches at my family’s old Ontario cottage come to mind. I want Canadian bacon, my grandma’s homemade maple butter, and the kind of sensory experiences—eggs frying, coffee brewing, chatter beginning—that jolt you out of bed in the morning. My family in California happens to love this sandwich, too (despite the fact there are no avocados included). I hope that wherever you and your family are, you’re all into it, too—it’s sweet, spirited, exactly the right amount of cheesy, and entirely loveable.
