Backstory!
I love omelet with toast, but not such a big fan of plain eggs (esp sunny side up). After seeing V for Vendetta, I came up with this (original) recipe of combining an omelet and toast as a single unit that can be eaten with 1 hand!

Serves 2
Ingredients
- 4 bread slices - I prefer wheat or something more hardy than white bread.
- 3 eggs
- 1 medium sized onion finely chopped
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 3 green chillies finely chopped
- handful of finely chopped cilantro
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper/capsicum
- 1 cup mushrooms (optional)
- Salt/Pepper to taste
Steps
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and salt/pepper.
- On a hot skillet, add 2 teaspoons of oil and cook the veggies with a pinch of salt until they lose some of their moisture. Keep the cooked veggies aside. This is done to avoid a soggy toast. You can skip this step, if you prefer.
- In the same skillet, add some more oil, 1/4 egg mixture and evenly spread the cooked veggies.
- As soon as the omelet begins to cook, stick a bread slice onto it pressing gently so that the 2 bind. Don't press too hard, else the liquid will ooze out. Put a lid on the skillet to cook the eggs completely. If the egg mixture begins to ooze or spread while cooking, just push it back into and under the toast :-)
- After about a minute or so, flip the toast and continue cooking to the desired level of toastiness!
Serving suggestions
- You can enjoy the egg toast with some ketchup or hot sauce or Thai Chilli Garlic Sauce (SriRacha).
- You can add some grated cheese to the toast too.
Tips
- To make the omelet fluffy and soft, add a couple of tablespoon of milk when beating the eggs.
