Bread Egg Upma is a quick snack or breakfast idea which you can make in a jiffy.I always end up making this with the last few slices of bread which no one touches. But this bread egg masala gets vanished in no time as its so tasty. I have already posted a simple bread upma with eggs here, and this is a spiced up version of that.
About Bread Egg Upma
To begin with first cut the bread slices into small pieces, set aside. Crack open eggs in a bowl – I always do this to have a check on whether its spoiled instead of cracking it directly into the pan. Heat oil – temper cumin seeds let it splutter, add ginger garlic paste saute for a minute then add onion saute till it turns transparent. Then add tomatoes and capsicum saute until it shrinks then add all the spice powders along with salt mix it well. Push the masala to one side of the kadai , then add the eggs along with salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs well, when its still goey mix it up with the veggies. Finally add the bread pieces mix it well. Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off. Serve hot!
You can make endless recipes using bread, egg combo and I can definitely say this is one of my favourites.
Variations
- You can use white or wheat bread, whichever you prefer.
- I used just onion,tomatoes and capsicum but you can add other veggies like carrot, cabbage etc.
- You can use country eggs or regular white eggs.
Serving & Storage
- Serve it hot as a snack or for breakfast.
- I wouldn’t recommend storing egg dishes so consume it fresh.

Notes
- You can even add the bread slices along with eggs and mix it if you like it a bit goey. But I prefer it this way a bit moist but well cooked eggs.
- Add other veggies like carrot, cabbage if you like.
- Use a thick bottomed pan/kadai so that while scrambling eggs it does not stick.
- I always crack open the eggs to a seperate bowl these days to check if its spoiled. As if we directly crack open in kadai and it gets poiled the whole dish will spoil.
