BREAD OMELET EGG SANDWICH
(for one person)
Ingredients
- Butter (or if you’re being really authentic, go for Indian ghee which is basically clarified butter)
- Two eggs
- One clove garlic, grated
- Two teaspoons ginger, grated (Or more. Ginger is great for soothing an iffy morning stomach)
- A pinch of good salt like Real Salt or Himalayan pink
- One large slice of Abigail’s Oven Country Loaf cut in half
Directions
- Whip the eggs with the garlic, salt, and ginger.
- Melt the butter in your frying pan and, when hot, pour in the eggs.
- Dip the bread in the egg mixture and then flip the bread pieces over (so both sides are coated) and then leave them in the pan.
- Let the eggs set up and then flip it over like a giant pancake.
- When the eggs are cooked through, fold one piece of bread on top of the other and slide onto your plate. Serve immediately.
*Note: Researching recipes on the internet, I mostly see the eggs browned, but I prefer to cook them at a lower temperature and keep them at a silky yellow. But your choice.
* Tip: For an easy way to keep fresh garlic on hand, I take about a half a cup of minced garlic, spoon it into a small Ziplock bag, flatten it out, and freeze it. When I need garlic, I break off however much I need.
For the ginger, I keep the root intact. I peel about a third of it, stick it in a Ziplock bag, and freeze it. When I need ginger, I grate the frozen ginger with my microplane right into the mixing bowl. I peel more as I need it, but I like to keep most of the brown outer layer to protect the ginger.
Happy cooking! Let us know how it turns out.
