Recipe: Bread Omelette - Indian street food classic

Hands up if you love bread omelette like I do. Spicy moreish - it’s the best kind of brunch! Here’s my take on it.

What you need

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 bread slices

  • 1 green chilli, finely chopped

  • 1/2 red onion, sliced fine

  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine

  • coriander, chopped fine

  • 2 tbsp grated cheese (or more!)

  • salt and pepper

  • butter

What you do

  1. Mix the beaten eggs, chillies, cheese, coriander, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl

  2. Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of butter (the more the butter, the yummier this is! I know - not the healthiest - but if you’ve not been advised to lay off the fat for health reasons, a little indulgence every now and then doesn’t hurt! That’s the way I look at it)

  3. When hot, add the sliced onion and sauté until the onion starts to brown. Ah that smell!

  4. Now add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds

  5. Pour on the egg mix

  6. Immediately place the two slices of bread beside each other on the egg

  7. Butter the tops of the bread

  8. Allow to cook until the egg is almost done. Flip the entire thing over (be careful, this is where it could all fall apart!) and let the buttered side of that bread get lovely and crisp - yum yum

  9. Now flip over and cook for a while longer until the egg and bread and entirely cooked - you don’t want a squishy bread egg situation

That’s it!
