Description
This Bread Omelette recipe is a quick and flavorful breakfast option featuring a spiced egg mixture cooked with slices of bread. The omelette is infused with onion and garlic paste, along with red chili powder for a hint of heat. It’s cooked on a stovetop in a non-stick pan, resulting in a golden, fluffy omelette that pairs perfectly with tomato ketchup and coffee or tea.
Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large-sized eggs
- 3 tsp onion paste
- 2 tsp garlic paste
- 1½ tsp red chilli powder (divided)
- ¾ tsp all-purpose flour (½ tsp + ¼ tsp)
- Salt to taste
Others
- 2 slices of bread (sides of the bread removed)
- 2–3 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, add ¼ tsp all-purpose flour, ½ tsp red chilli powder, salt, 1.5 tsp onion paste, 1 tsp garlic paste and 2 eggs. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan and cook the egg: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil, letting it heat up. Then reduce the flame to low and pour the prepared egg mixture evenly across the pan.
- Place the bread on the egg: Place one slice of bread in the center of the pan on top of the egg mixture. Immediately dip the bread into the egg and flip it so the egg-coated side is down on the pan, then reposition it in the center of the pan to cook.
- Cook and fold the omelette: As the omelette starts to firm up, gently fold the sides of the omelette towards the center over the bread. Continue cooking on low heat until the omelette turns golden brown and fully sets.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the whole bread omelette and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes or until it’s cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat and serve: Remove the cooked bread omelette to a plate and repeat the process for the second bread slice and remaining egg mixture. Serve the bread omelette hot with tomato ketchup and a cup of black coffee, milk coffee, tea, or warm milk.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red chilli powder to your desired spice level.
- Removing the sides of the bread helps it soak less oil and cook uniformly.
- Whisking the eggs thoroughly gives a fluffier texture to the omelette.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and for easier flipping.
- The bread omelette pairs well with a variety of hot beverages like coffee or tea.
