Masala Egg Toast

There’s nothing more important than breakfast and sourdough bread in my opinion. This recipe packs in a lot of protein, veggies, and spices for those breakfast lovers looking for a well balanced start to the day! I love eating this with a nice big cup of coffee, chutney, and ketchup.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 2

• 2 Large Slices of Sourdough Bread (loyal fan of Boudin Bakery)

• 2 Eggs

• 1/2 Cup Chopped Spinach

• 1/4 Cup Chopped Bell Pepper

• 1/4 Cup Chopped Onion

• 1/4 Cup Chopped Mushroom (optional)

• 1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro

• 1 Ounce Shredded Cheese (I use Clover Organic)

• 1 Tsp Cumin

• Red Chili Flakes

• Salt

• Pepper

• Optional: Ketchup, Green Chutney, and Avocado

• Butter or Olive Oil for the Pan

Other ALTERNATIVES

• You can use Garam Masala or Tandoori Masala in place of cumin.

• You can use brioche, multigrain bread, texas toast, the options are endless! Sourdough is just the best based on trial and error.

• You can skip the cheese if you’d like.

• If you’d like to add other herbs such as parsley, basil, or dill - definitely try it! Cilantro isn’t for everyone.

• Feel free to add other types of veggies such as green onion or shallots instead of regular onions.

• If you’d like to go more spicy, I recommend adding a chopped Thai chili.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk the eggs, veggies and spices in a shallow dish big enough to easily fit the bread.

2. Once nicely mixed (make sure the yolks and whites aren’t separate), take one of the sourdough slices and press it down into the egg mixture. Flip it, and press it down again. The veggies will not fully stick yet but that’s ok!

3. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add in a little olive oil or spread butter on the pan to coat it evenly (you really don’t need too much, this is just so the crust gets a little crisp and flavorful when the cheese caramelizes).

4. Place the slice of bread onto the pan (any side down is ok). Repeat with the other slice of bread, and place in the heated pan.

5. While one side is cooking, evenly distribute the veggies onto each slice of bread and press down the veggies with a spoon so they stick to the bread. Wait about 2-3 minutes until you see the other side brown.

6. Flip the bread carefully, and let it cook through for another 2-3 minutes. Done!

7. I love to serve my toast sliced in half with homemade chutney, ketchup, and avocado! Enjoy!
