Plain old eggs and toast get boring after a while. Try out this popular recipe that is a hit with the kids. What’s more, you can experiment with different shapes.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 4 slices of bread
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium tomato
• 5-6 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp chili sauce
• 1 tbsp Light Soy sauce
• 1 tsp mixed herb seasoning
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes
• 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• Salt to taste
• Oil for cooking

Instructions

• First, prepare the bread slices. Cut out the desired shape inside a bread slice. I prefer a square. You can cut out circles, or hearts. Save the cut-out portion.
• Heat a pan and add in 1 tbsp of oil.
• Add in finely chopped garlic and cook for a minute. Then add in the chopped onions. Once the onions are translucent, mix in the tomatoes. Add in chili sauce, soy sauce, mixed herb seasoning, and chili flakes.
• Beat the two eggs. Add in salt to taste, keeping in mind that cheese would have salt too.
• Now arrange the slices on the pan so that the mixture is within the slices. Pat it down a bit.
• Pour in the egg to cover the mixture.
• Top it with grated cheese and place the cut-out portion of slices on top. Press them down.
• Cook on low flame until the eggs are done. Spread a bit of oil on the slices and flip them.
• Cook until crisp and serve hot with ketchup or your favorite sauce.

Notes

• You can also add in bacon, salami, shredded chicken, or any cold cut of your choice.
