Bread Omelette

Bread Omelette is basically toasted bread covered with a simple spiced egg mix, and the flavors come together nicely when it gets toasted until golden on both sides. This dish has soft eggs and slightly crisp bread, so the texture itself feels satisfying. The spices are mild making it an ideal breakfast recipe. Bread and eggs are a winning combo and this one is no exception.

Bread Omelette is one of those easy breakfast dishes I end up making when I want something filling but really don't have much time to think what to cook. I mostly make this for a quick breakfast or even sometimes for evening snack, especially when someone wants something warm and tasty immediately.

About Bread Omelette

Bread Omelette is one of the oldest street-style snacks you will find in many places, and each shop has its own variations. The base idea is simple where eggs are beaten with onions, green chilies and spices, bread slices are dipped into this and cooked together. The bread absorbs the egg mixture and you get a soft inside and light toasted outside.

Bread Omelette always reminds me of train journeys as I love bread omlette served in the Indian Railways and should admit I look forward to day train journeys just for the sake of this dish. I make it when hungry in between meals or when we want a quick breakfast. It always turns out quite satisfying.

The taste also depends on how you like your omelette to be. Some people add more onion to make it bit crunchy, some keep it plain with only spices. The heat from pepper and chili gives a nice lift and the coriander leaves adds that fresh touch.

There are many ways people make this. You can toast the bread first and then sandwich the omelette, add little cheese on top, or even mix small pieces of capsicum or tomato into the egg. You can also make a bigger one by joining few bread slices like they do in shops. Each version has its own nice taste.

Bread Omelette Ingredients

• Bread slices - I used white bread, you can use wheat bread or milk bread also, both works almost the same.
• Eggs - I added two eggs as it gives enough mixture to cover the bread properly and keeps the omelette soft and fluffy. You can add one more egg if you feel it is coming bit thin.
• Red chilli powder - I am using this for giving small spicy taste and little color. You can adjust it how much heat you want.
• Garam masala - I added a pinch mainly for flavor, it blends well with onion and egg. You can skip also if you like very simple taste.
• Turmeric powder - I used just a tiny pinch, it gives warm color and light earthy taste, and the omelette looks more bright too.
• Pepper powder - I added this for heat which suits egg recipes very well. If you like pepper flavor more, you can add a bit extra also.
• Onion - I used finely chopped onion as it gives small crunch and mild sweetness once cooked.
• Green chilli - I added one green chilli for extra heat. You can skip if making for kids or if you don't want too much spice.
• Coriander leaves - I have used little chopped coriander for fresh smell and flavor. It makes the omelette feel more light.
• Oil - I used to cook the omelette and toast the bread even. You can use ghee also if you want richer taste.

Expert Tips

• Beat well - First beat the eggs for few seconds so they become light and mix evenly with onions and spices.
• Cook on medium flame - I have seen cooking on medium flame makes the omelette cook properly without burning the bread edges.
• Flip slowly -Flip the omelette gently because the egg mixture will be soft at first and may tear if done fast.
• Add extra pepper - I have tried adding little more pepper sometimes, and it gives a strong nice flavor which suits bread omelette well.
• Cheese option - I sometimes place a small cheese slice on top, and it melts inside making the whole omelette more filling and tasty.

Serving and Storage

Serve this hot with chopped onions, coriander leaves or even little ketchup if you prefer. It goes well with tea or even as a quick meal by itself. This recipe tastes best served immediately. I don't recommend storing leftovers.
