Repeat and Serve
Sprinkle grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top of the toast after flipping it in the pan. Cover for a minute to let the cheese melt.
Add 2 tablespoons of finely grated carrots or finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum) to the egg batter for extra nutrition and crunch.
For a sweet version, omit the vegetables, salt, and chili powders. Instead, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and a few drops of vanilla extract to the egg and milk mixture.
Replace the eggs with a batter made from 1/2 cup of gram flour (besan), water, and all the same spices and vegetables.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The carbohydrates from the bread provide a readily available source of energy, making this an ideal breakfast to kickstart your day.
Eggs are packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which support bone health, brain function, and metabolism.
A single serving of two slices contains approximately 285 calories, depending on the type of bread and amount of ghee used.
It can be a balanced breakfast. It provides protein from eggs and carbohydrates from bread for energy. To make it healthier, use whole-wheat or multigrain bread and minimal ghee for frying.
Slightly stale or day-old bread is ideal as it holds its shape better after soaking. Standard white, brown, or multigrain sandwich bread slices work perfectly.
The key is to not over-soak the bread. A quick dip on each side is sufficient. Also, ensure your pan is properly heated before placing the bread on it, which helps to set the egg mixture quickly.
Absolutely. You can omit the green chilies and red chili powder entirely for a mild version that is kid-friendly. The turmeric and black pepper will still provide a gentle flavor.
While best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat on a tawa or in a toaster oven to regain some of the crispness.
