Masala Egg Toast



This is the savory version of the french toast. It is great by itself or when served with cilantro chutney. It tastes great with a harder variety of bread like french/italian loaf. To make it healthy we can use sprouted grain eziekel bread and cholestorol free egg beaters. These can be substituted with any bread and eggs if preferred.

Ingredients

1 small tub egg beaters (equivalent to two large eggs)
1 cup chopped red onion
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 tsp milk
salt per taste
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp red chillie powder
3 whole green chillies chopped into rounds
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 slices Italian/French/Eziekel/White Bread
Non stick cooking spray / oil


Method

Mix egg beaters, milk, salt, garam masala, red chilli powder, ginger garlic paste and whisk lightly. Mix cilantro, green chillies and chopped red onion.


Pour mixture into a large shallow bowl or plate in which a bread slice can be dipped.

Pre-Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and spray with non stick cooking spray.

Dip bread in the egg mixture to cover it on both sides. Soak it so that it does not get squishy yet is considerably infused with liquid.

Drop in the hot pan on oil, and do not disturb till bottom side is done. This way it will come off the pan easily without sticking. You can spoon a bit of egg mixture on the top side while it cooks in the pan.

Loosen with a flipper and flip to the other side quickly and again do not disturb.

Cut into long rectangular pieces and garnish with cilantro and sprinkle some garam masala on top. Serve with cilantro chutney or tomato ketchup.


Variations

You can add any of chopped onions, spinach, julienned mushrooms etc to the mixture.
