Roadside Omlette



This omlette was amongst the few things my dad could cook. But bit was a treat for us kids. The flourish with which he mixed the eggs, chopped the bread and assembled it, looked almost magical.The final omlette served with his widest and warmest smile was a  feast like no other A simple and delightful breakfast option. It takes as much time as a simple omlette and yet feels special. You can get as creative as you like , adding cheese, mushrooms, chopped mixed vegetables, pasta, bits of chicken, ham, salami, sausage, sauces etc. Here is the basic recipe though.

Chop up 2 slices of bread ( any kind is fine) , chop up 1 onion, 1 green chilli, a few leaves of coriander. Beat 2 eggs, add salt and pepper to the eggs.In a pan , pour in 1 tsp oil and spread it evenly.Put in the bread pieces and toast well.Mix the onions, chill and coriander with the eggs.

Pour carefully and evenly over the bread pieces.Cover and cook till the top is firm.Turnover and cook till the bottom is slightly brown.


Turn it over into a plate and serve with salad, french fries or just ketchup.
Its amazingly crispy.
