Sprinkle a tablespoon of grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese on the toast after flipping it in the pan. Cover with a lid for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum) or grated carrots to the egg batter for extra nutrition and crunch.
Replace the eggs and milk with a batter made from 1 cup of besan (chickpea flour) and about 1.25 cups of water. Whisk until smooth and follow the same recipe.
Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh mint leaves or 1 teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) to the batter for a different flavor profile.

It can be a balanced breakfast. It's a good source of protein from eggs and contains vegetables. To make it healthier, use whole-wheat bread, minimize the amount of ghee or oil for frying, and serve it with a side of fresh salad.
Slightly stale, thick-sliced bread is ideal as it absorbs the batter without becoming soggy. White sandwich bread, brioche, or even pav bread slices work well.
This usually happens if the vegetables are not chopped finely enough. Ensure they are minced very small. Also, gently press the bread slice into the batter to help the vegetables adhere before placing it on the pan.
Yes, you can create a vegan version by replacing the egg and milk with a batter made from chickpea flour (besan) and water, similar to a 'besan chilla'. Season it with the same spices and vegetables.
You can prepare the batter and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, the vegetables might release water, so give it a good whisk before using.
