SPICY ‘FRENCH TOAST’ (INDIAN STYLE)
Gourmet Brunch for under $5 for 2
It’s been cold and raining for the last few days. I woke up this Saturday morning and while drinking coffee, I had the craving for something spicy and warm, but quick and easy to make. I suddenly remembered the ‘French Toast’ that was common for weekend breakfasts during my childhood. Half an hour later we had a brunch of the ‘Spicy French Toast’.
Here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 slices of white bread
2 eggs
1-2 tbsp milk
¼ onion finely chopped
1 green chili – chopped
¼ tomato chopped
1-2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
Oil for frying
Method:
Cut the bread slices diagonally to make triangular slices.
Beat 2 eggs with the milk until frothy.
Add salt and pepper and stir.
Dip the bread slices in the egg mix and set aside.
Add the onions, tomatoes, green chili and cilantro to the remaining egg mixture and mix.
Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
Add 2 slices of bread.
Add the vegetable and egg mixture on top of the bread and spread.
Use a spatula to apply slight pressure.
Turn after 2 minutes and brown evenly on both sides.
Serve warm.
Optional:
You can also add chopped bell peppers, grated cheese (cheddar or other).
