Bread omelette sandwich
Updated: August 5, 2022, By Swasthi
Bread omelette sandwich recipe – Quick and easy breakfast sandwich recipe made with bread and eggs. Bread omelet sandwich is one of the street foods of India and is made with tons of variations. Some places even customize the bread omelet to suit the customer’s tastes as per the order.
As with all egg or cheese recipes, this sandwich too has to be consumed within 2 hours of preparing it if not refrigerated. So it is not safe to pack this in the tiffin or lunch box unless it is refrigerated.
Tips for bread omelette
- I have made this sandwich without any chutney, but I have tried this with schezwan sauce, tomato sauce & green chutney on different occasions & felt the sauce really enhances the flavor of the bread omelet. So for variations you can try with this green chutney or schezwan sauce.
- You can also make this sandwich without cheese. I have used mozzarella cheese. Feel free to replace it with cheddar cheese. You can also skip the cheese and just make the bread omelet.
- If you follow the food combining rules, then avoid using tomato sauce.
- For health reasons, favor brown bread or multi grain bread.
- You can also sprinkle some chaat masala on the sandwich

How to make omelette sandwich
4. Heat a pan with oil on a medium flame. When the pan turns hot, pour the beaten eggs. When the mixture begins to firm up shape to a square.
5. Flip it and fry on a medium heat until the egg is cooked completely. Sprinkle black pepper and Italian herbs (optional).
6. Place a slice of cheese or grated cheese over the omelet.
7. Lower the flame. Place a bread slice on the pan and transfer the egg omelet to the bread. Cover it with another slice of bread. Add a generous amount of butter.
8. Flip and toast it on both the sides on a low flame until the cheese begins to melt. Press it down with a spatula while you toast the bread. Alternately you can also toast this in a hot sandwich toaster.
Serve bread omelet as a breakfast or brunch.

Can you share the bread recipe also. Iam planning to buy dough maker. Suggest me the brand. All in one like making whipping cream and making dough for bread and chapati
Hi Swasthi,
Lovely recipe!
Would you have an authentic recipe for sandwich masala? I have tried to search for this with no luck
Hi Thomas,
Please use chaat masala if sandwich masala is not available. There is no authentic version for sandwich masala and it is just an invention by the street side sellers/hawkers. It is a mix of chaat masala, red chili powder, fennel and other spices. Hope this helps
i want to make this recipe with the help of cheese, is it ok?
Hello Swasthi ma’am.
May I know what herbs you used before placing the cheese slice?
Hello Sabik,
I used Italian herbs and that’s completely optional

I think you’ll find with 1 whole egg, plus the 1.5 tsp oil there is at least 8-9 gems of fat in this sandwich. Great idea for kids
