Stuffed Bread Egg Omelette Recipe

(Serves 1-2)

Ingredients 

Slices of bread (white, brown, or multigrain bread)- 2

Eggs - 2 

Chopped onions - ¼ cup

Chopped bell peppers (any colour)- ¼ cup

Chopped tomatoes (optional) - 2 tbsp 

Green chillies, finely chopped (optional)- 1-2

Grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)- ¼ cup

Chopped fresh coriander - 2 tbsp

Salt - A pinch

Cracked black pepper, to taste

Chilli flakes or paprika (optional)- ½ tsp

Butter or oil, for cooking

Preparation Method

1. Add onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes to a bit of heated oil. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes. Set aside to cool.

2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. Add the chopped coriander, sautéed veggies (you can use raw if you prefer crunchy), salt, and pepper.

3. Take the bread slices and cut a square or round hole in the centre of each. Save the cut-out pieces. You can toast them separately or use them as a top layer.

4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, then quickly place the bread slices on top so the egg fills the holes. Sprinkle grated cheese over the exposed egg.

5. Once the bottom is set and golden brown, after 2-3 minutes, flip the whole thing using a wide spatula. Cook the other side for another 2 minutes until fully cooked and crisp.

6. Serve hot with ketchup, mayo, or chilli sauce. Cut in half or leave whole. Best enjoyed warm and melty!

Upgrade The Stuffing For A Satisfying Meal

If just veggies don’t do the trick and it feels like something is missing from your omelette, then you should try this trick. Upgrade your stuffed bread egg omelette with shredded chicken, onions, peppers, and melted cheese tucked right into the egg. Cooked the same way, the bread will soak it all up as it cooks, turning crisp at the edges while staying soft in the middle. It’s filling without being heavy, packs in a lot of flavour without going overboard. Add a bit of chutney or hot sauce, and it’s the kind of thing you keep coming back to.

Customising Your Omelette

The beauty of the stuffed bread egg omelette is how versatile it is. You can swap fillings to suit your taste and not just use chicken. Try mushrooms, spinach, or even cooked diced potatoes. You can opt for different breads, too; thick-sliced or artisanal breads add more texture and pack in more flavour. To go the extra mile, serve with chutneys, spicy sauces, or simple ketchup and mayo. You could also experiment with herbs and spices in the egg mixture to create different flavour profiles (garlic powder or paprika) for variety.

Getting the Perfect Texture

To achieve the ideal texture for the omelette, make sure your pan is hot enough before pouring in the egg mixture. A medium heat setting helps cook the eggs evenly without burning the bread. Use a non-stick pan for easy flipping and cleanup. Don’t overcrowd the pan; leave enough space for the bread to crisp nicely. Avoid over-beating the eggs; a light whisk helps keep the omelette tender and fluffy. Also, adding a little butter or oil prevents sticking and adds a subtle richness to the crust.

Choosing and Preparing Fillings

For the best flavour and texture in your cooked omelette, use fresh, finely chopped vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or tomatoes. If you want meat fillings like chicken, cook them beforehand with your favourite spices to infuse flavour into the meat. Avoid adding watery veggies raw; they can make the bread soggy. Grated cheese is a must for melty richness, and harder cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella work best. If you like yours spicy, add green chillies or chilli flakes. Balance the spiciness with fresh herbs like coriander to keep the omelette tasting fresh.
