Prepare the Egg Mixture:
Begin by whisking the eggs in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the eggs and whisk until the mixture starts to bubble and become slightly frothy. Next, add the chopped green chillies, finely diced tomato, onion, black pepper powder, and garam masala powder. Whisk again to ensure the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. -
-
Cook the Masala Omelette:
Heat a skillet or a flat pan over medium heat. Add the mustard oil to the pan, allowing it to heat up. Tilt the pan to ensure the oil coats the entire surface evenly. Once the oil is hot, pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan. Spread the egg mixture evenly so that it covers the surface of the pan. -
Flip the Omelette:
Cook the omelette for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden. Carefully flip the omelette to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring that both sides are golden and the omelette is fully cooked. Once done, remove the omelette from the pan and transfer it to a chopping board. -
Prepare the Sandwich:
Slice the cooked omelette into 4 equal pieces. Place two of the omelette slices between two slices of whole wheat brown bread. Spread a thin layer of melted butter on the outer surfaces of the sandwich to help it crisp up during grilling. -
Grill the Sandwich:
Heat a griddle or a grill pan over medium heat. Place the buttered sandwich on the griddle and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Press the sandwich lightly while grilling to ensure it gets evenly toasted. -
Serve:
Once the sandwich is crispy and golden, remove it from the grill and slice it in half, if desired. Serve the Indian Style Masala Omelette Grilled Sandwich hot, alongside a Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie for a delicious breakfast. For an added touch, enjoy it with a cup of Adrak Chai (ginger tea) or Filter Coffee.
Tips for the Perfect Masala Omelette Grilled Sandwich
- Egg Variations: Feel free to experiment with additional spices like cumin or turmeric for extra flavor. You can also add chopped coriander leaves for a fresh, herby note.
- Bread Choice: While this recipe uses whole wheat brown bread, feel free to swap it for multigrain or sourdough for a different twist.
- Veggie Add-ins: You can add bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the omelette for more texture and flavor.
- Grilling Options: If you don’t have a grill pan, a regular skillet works just as well to achieve that crispy, golden sandwich. Just make sure to press it slightly while grilling to achieve even crispness.
