Incorporate other fresh herbs like mint or dried herbs like oregano and chili flakes into the batter for a different flavor profile.
Add a pinch of black pepper powder or finely chopped ginger to the egg mixture for an extra kick of spice.
Eggs are a primary ingredient, providing high-quality protein essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function. A protein-rich breakfast helps keep you feeling full and energized.
The bread provides carbohydrates, which are the body's main source of energy, making this an excellent meal to start your day and fuel your morning activities.
The inclusion of onions, tomatoes, and coriander leaves adds essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your meal, contributing to better overall health.
It can be a balanced breakfast, offering protein from eggs and carbohydrates from bread. To make it healthier, use whole wheat bread, load it with vegetables, and use minimal oil for cooking.
One serving, which is typically two pieces, contains approximately 350-400 calories. The exact count can vary based on the type of bread, amount of oil, and any additional ingredients used.
Yes, for a vegetarian/vegan version, you can replace the eggs and milk with a batter made from gram flour (besan), water, and spices. This creates a similar dish known as 'Besan Toast'.
The key is to use slightly stale or day-old bread, as it's drier. Also, do not soak the bread for more than a few seconds on each side, and ensure your pan is properly heated before you start frying.
