Egg toast recipe | Egg bread toast | Bread toast with egg

By swasthi , on November 7, 2019, 24 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Egg toast or egg bread toast recipe made with eggs, bread, onions, chilies and herbs. Egg toast is one of the most popular street foods from India. It is very much eaten in all regions as a breakfast or fast food. There are so many ways it is made with cheese, with lots of spice powders etc. I have shared a basic version here. You can easily tweak it to suit your taste.

Egg toast is eaten across the world and is prepared in numerous ways. Egg in a hole, french toast etc are some world popular recipes. This Indian egg toast is unique and many in India call it a savory french toast.

This is a super quick recipe and can be made just in 10 mins. It is best served hot and eaten plain with out any accompaniment.

In India people love masala chai with this egg toast. However you can also eat it with some ketchup or your favorite sauce or dip.

Preparation

1. Chop 2 to 3 shallots or a small onion, 1 to 2 green chilies (replace with pepper for kids), coriander leaves and deseeded tomatoes. Add them to a bowl along with salt, turmeric and cumin (optional). Tomatoes lend a slight tang and get a melt in the mouth texture when cooked with the egg. If you do not like you can skip or replace with finely chopped bell peppers.

4. Heat a pan with oil and spread it well.

5. When the pan is just hot enough, dip one side of the bread slice in egg. Do not over heat the pan. Dipping the entire bread at one time will leave the egg raw inside. So just do one side first.

6. Place it on the pan. You can fry 2 to 3 slices at one time. 2 slices for a medium egg and 3 slices for a large egg. Make sure the flame is adjusted to medium.

7. When the egg is cooked, set them aside and pour the egg mixture to the pan. Allow it to cook a bit and cut in the center with the wooden spoon.

After the previous step, you can also pour the egg over the bread and then flip them. I do not prefer that way since it will mess up the pan while flipping and the egg remains under cooked on the sides. If you like that way, you can try. Make sure the egg is thoroughly cooked.

8. When it is almost cooked but still moist, place the cheese(optional) & bread slices over it. Press with the wooden spatula.

9. Flip it to the other side and make sure the egg is fully cooked on both sides. I also like to sprinkle some red chili powder for extra spice.

So delicious, quick and healthy! I omitted cheese and used just enough oil to coat the pan (a few drops) but followed everything else exactly. I spread a little bit of sweet chilli sauce and squirted some low fat mayo on top after it was done. Thank you Swasthi:) One again, your recipe rocks – like all the rest I have tried. Love, Delia 🙂

Was just in Old Delhi and saw this being made street side. Are both sides of the bread dipped in egg or just one side. I can’t wait to try this. Looks delicious!

Hi Raenne
Yes both sides are coated in egg, but dipping both at one time makes the bread soggy. So follow the method i mentioned in the post. I am just briefing it here. Dip one side and fry it. Then pour the left over egg mixture on the other side and flip it. Thanks for rating the recipe.
