    This scrumptious meal is also ideal for lunchboxes, especially when you're short on time or ideas. You can whip quickly whip it up with only a handful of basic ingredients and minimal prep time. Not only is this breakfast option quick and easy to make, but it is also incredibly satisfying and nutritious, making it one of the simplest sandwich recipes you'll ever come across.

    To add an extra layer of flavor, I like to use mint chutney as a spread on the bread slices, which imparts a delicious taste to the sandwich. However, you can omit it or use any spread of your choice. The beauty of this dish lies in the fact that you can create countless variations by mixing and matching different flavors and ingredients to suit your individual taste preferences.

    Omelets are among the most popular breakfast dishes, and when combined with bread, they make for a satisfying and wholesome meal. While some variations of this recipe involve dipping the bread slices into the omelet mixture, I prefer to cook the omelette first to use them in the sandwich. The next time you're craving a change from your usual breakfast fare of toast and eggs, I highly recommend trying out this delicious alternative.

    Ingredients

    bread omelet ingredients.

    Eggs: Goes in making the filling of this sandwich.

    Bread: I used white bread in this recipe; however, you may replace it with any bread of your choice. Sourdough sandwich bread also works great for this recipe.

    Butter: I use butter to make the sandwiches.

    Onion and tomatoes: Make sure both onions and tomatoes are finely chopped. You can also add other veggies like bell peppers, grated carrots, etc. to this bread sandwich.

    Green chili and cilantro: You may adjust the green chilies as per your preference or skip them altogether. You can replace the chili pepper with red chilli powder.

    Cheese: I use mozzarella cheese here; however, you may replace it with any cheese of your choice.

    Green chutney: I use homemade green mint chutney as a spread. Use any spread of your choice. Tomato ketchup goes well with this sandwich too.

    Step-by-step instructions

    add veggies, salt, and pepper to eggs.

    Step 1: Crack 4 large eggs in a bowl, and add salt and black pepper powder. Add onion, tomato, green chillies, and coriander leaves. Whisk them well (images 1 and 2).

    fold the cooked eggs into a square.

    Step 2: Heat butter in a frying pan or nonstick skillet. Once the butter melts, add half the egg mixture and let it cook on medium heat (image 3).

    Step 3: Once the egg omelette is almost done, carefully fold it from all sides to form a square, almost the same size as the bread slice (images 4 and 5).

    Step 4: Flip and cook on the other side of the omelette (image 6). Repeat with the remaining omelette mixture.

    place them on bread along with cheese.

    Step 5: Spread 1 teaspoon of green chutney on a slice of bread. Now, add one teaspoon of butter to the nonstick pan and place the bread (images 7 and 8).

    Step 6: Place an omelet onto it and top it with 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Place another slice of bread and add some butter on top (images 9 and 10).

    fry on both sides until golden brown.

    Step 7: Carefully flip it and fry it on both sides on medium-high heat until it is golden brown.

    top with sauce.
    Slice and serve with a dip of your choice.

    Useful 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.

    Use a generous amount of butter to make the best-tasting egg sandwich.

    When folding the omelet, try to keep it approximately the same size as the slices of bread.
