Expert Tips
You can use any bread of your choice. Brown bread, whole wheat bread, rye bread, and multigrain bread are great alternatives to white bread. You can also use gluten-free bread.
I have used grated mozzarella cheese in this sandwich. You can skip it altogether or use any other cheese you prefer. You can also use a slice of cheese instead of grated cheese.
Season the eggs with a small amount of curry powder or chana masala powder for added flavor.
When folding the omelet, try to keep it approximately the same size as the slices of bread.
