For the Sandwich:

  • 2 to 3 slices of bread (brown or multigrain recommended)
  • 1 to 2 slices of cheese or grated cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons tomato ketchup or chutney

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Omelette Mixture

  1. Finely chop the onion, capsicum, green chili, and coriander leaves.
  2. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them until frothy.
  3. Add the chopped vegetables, turmeric powder, salt, and optional masalas (sandwich or chaat). Beat the mixture again to combine.

Step 2: Cook the Omelette

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan and allow it to spread evenly.
  3. Cook until the base firms up, then use a spatula to shape the omelette into a square if desired.
  4. Flip the omelette and cook until completely done. Sprinkle crushed pepper and Italian herbs, if using.
  5. Place a cheese slice or grated cheese on the omelette and let it melt slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Place one slice of bread on the pan or tawa and lightly toast it.
  2. Transfer the omelette onto the bread slice. Add ketchup or chutney, if desired.
  3. Place another slice of bread on top to sandwich the omelette.
  4. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and toast the sandwich on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Press down gently with a spatula for even toasting.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Remove the sandwich from the pan and cut it in half diagonally.
  2. Serve hot or warm with a cup of tea, coffee, or your favorite beverage.

Tips for Making the Perfect Bread Omelette Sandwich

  • Add Flavor: Enhance the taste with sauces like schezwan, green chutney, or tomato ketchup.
  • Cheese Variations: Use mozzarella, cheddar, or skip cheese for a lighter version.
