Egg Omelette Sandwich Recipe – Quick Indian-Style Breakfast Idea

Hey everyone! If you’re anything like me, mornings can be… hectic. Between getting ready and tackling the day, a quick, satisfying breakfast is a must. And honestly, nothing beats a warm, comforting sandwich, right? This Egg Omelette Sandwich is my go-to when I need something fast, flavorful, and totally fuss-free. It’s an Indian-inspired twist on a classic, and I think you’ll absolutely love it!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This isn’t just any egg sandwich. It’s packed with fresh veggies, a fluffy omelette, and a little bit of Indian spice. It’s perfect for a speedy breakfast, a light lunch, or even a quick snack. Plus, it’s super customizable – you can easily adjust the spice level and add your favorite veggies. I first made this when my kids were little and needed something quick before school, and it’s been a family favorite ever since!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious sandwich:

• 4 bread slices
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ cup chopped capsicum (bell pepper)
• 2 chopped green chillies
• ½ cup grated cheese
• ¼ teaspoon pepper powder
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
• Salt to taste

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients! A few little things can make a big difference.

• Bread: I usually use regular white bread, but you can totally use brown bread, multigrain, or even pav (Indian bread rolls) for a different texture.
• Veggies: Onions and capsicum are my go-to, but feel free to experiment! Finely chopped tomatoes, spinach, or even a little grated carrot would be lovely.
• Green Chillies: These add a lovely kick! Adjust the amount depending on your spice preference. You can also use a pinch of chili powder if you prefer.
• Cheese: I love using a mild cheddar or mozzarella, but any cheese that melts well will work beautifully.
• Spices: We’re keeping it simple with salt and pepper, but a dash of turmeric or a sprinkle of chaat masala would add a wonderful Indian flavour.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking!

1. First, let’s prep the veggies. Chop your onions, capsicum, and green chillies nice and small.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk everything together really well until it’s light and frothy.
3. Now, toss in the chopped vegetables into the egg mixture. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
4. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until it’s golden brown on both sides – just like a classic omelette!
5. Spread a little mayonnaise on one slice of bread. Place the cooked omelette on top.
6. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the omelette, and drizzle with tomato sauce.
7. Preheat your sandwich maker. Lightly butter the plates, then place the assembled bread slice in the sandwich maker. Top with another bread slice.
8. Grill the sandwich until it’s crispy and golden brown. Slice it diagonally and serve immediately!

Expert Tips

Here are a few things I’ve learned over the years:

• Don’t overcrowd the pan when making the omelette. This will ensure it cooks evenly and gets nice and fluffy.
• For extra flavour, add a sprinkle of dried herbs (like oregano or mixed herbs) to the egg mixture.
• If you don’t have a sandwich maker, you can grill the sandwich in a pan with a little butter. Just press down on it with a spatula to help it cook evenly.

Variations

This recipe is a blank canvas for your creativity!

• Vegan Adaptation: Use a plant-based egg substitute and vegan cheese. Skip the mayonnaise or use a vegan mayo.
• Gluten-Free Adaptation: Simply use your favourite gluten-free bread!
• Spice Level Adjustment: My friend, Priya, loves to add a finely chopped Serrano pepper for extra heat. You could also use a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
• Festival/Weekend Brunch Adaptation: Serve with a side of aloo bhaji (potato stir-fry) and a cup of masala chai for a truly festive brunch!

Serving Suggestions

This sandwich is great on its own, but here are a few ideas to complete the meal:

• A side of fresh fruit salad
• A small bowl of yogurt
• A glass of cold milk or juice

Storage Instructions

This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a pan or toaster oven to restore some of the crispness.

FAQs
