Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick bread slices
  • 1½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 medium organic eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ⅓ teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons onion or shallots or green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 to 2 green chilies, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped
  • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ to 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • ⅓ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • ⅓ teaspoon garam masala
  • 4 tablespoons mint chutney or hot sauce or pesto
  • ¼ teaspoon chaat masala for serving

Instructions

  1. Break the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk, onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, turmeric, chili flakes, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Whisk until frothy and well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
  3. Optionally spread chutney, sauce, or pesto on one side of each bread slice.
  4. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Shake off excess mixture back into the bowl.
  5. Place the coated bread slices onto the hot pan. Spoon a little extra egg mixture over the slices if desired.
  6. Cook on medium heat until the underside is fully cooked and lightly golden.
  7. Flip the slices gently, press lightly with a spatula, and cook until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Remove to a serving plate, sprinkle with chaat masala, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Deseed the green chilies for a milder flavor.
  • Use whole wheat or sourdough bread for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Mint chutney adds a refreshing spicy flavor but can be skipped.
  • Serve with ketchup, yogurt dip, or tea for a complete breakfast.
  • Best enjoyed fresh and hot from the pan.
