Fold and Finish the Sandwich
Serve
Incorporate finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum), mushrooms, or grated carrots into the egg mixture for added nutrition and flavor.
Add a pinch of garam masala or chaat masala to the egg batter for a more complex, tangy flavor profile.
Instead of a slice, use grated mozzarella or a cheese blend for a gooier, more decadent sandwich.
Instead of folding into a sandwich, simply roll the entire omelette with the bread inside to create a portable roll.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function. This makes the sandwich very satiating.
The carbohydrates from the bread provide a quick and accessible source of energy, making this an ideal breakfast to kickstart your day or a great snack to overcome a mid-day slump.
This sandwich is packed with nutrients. Eggs provide Vitamin D, B12, and choline, while onions, tomatoes, and coriander contribute vitamins A, C, and K, along with antioxidants.
One Bread Omelette Sandwich, including the optional cheese slice, contains approximately 350-400 calories. The exact count can vary based on the type of bread, amount of butter, and size of the eggs used.
It can be a healthy and balanced meal. It's rich in protein from eggs and provides carbohydrates for energy from the bread. To make it healthier, use whole wheat or multigrain bread, minimize butter, and load it with fresh vegetables.
The key is to use a wide, non-stick pan, ensure the base of the omelette is fully cooked and set before flipping, and use a wide spatula that supports the entire structure. A quick, confident flip also helps prevent breakage.
For a vegetarian version, you can make a 'besan chilla' (gram flour pancake) instead of an egg omelette. Make a batter with gram flour, water, spices, and vegetables, and follow the same procedure with the bread.
Soft sandwich bread, either white, brown, or whole wheat, works best as it absorbs some of the egg mixture and adheres well. Avoid very crusty or hard breads like sourdough or baguettes.
