Ingredients:
Step 1: Prepping the toast
Our journey to a delicious Indian-Style Eggs on Toast begins with prepping our base - the bread. Toasting the bread slices to perfection is key. You can use a dry frying pan or a grill for this step. What you're looking for is a golden-brown toast with just the right amount of crunch. This will ensure our toast holds up well with the juicy toppings we'll add later.
Pro Tip: For added flavor, lightly brush your bread with olive oil before toasting.
Step 2: Caramelizing the onions
The secret to adding depth and sweetness to our dish lies in caramelizing the onions. Start by heating some oil in a frying pan and sauté the onions until they become beautifully golden and aromatic. Patience is key here; good caramelization takes time but it's completely worth it. You're looking for onions that are soft, sweet, and a gorgeous deep brown color.
Pro Tip: Low and slow is the way to go for perfect caramelization.
Step 3: Adding the tomatoes
Next up, we introduce tomatoes to our skillet of caramelized onions. The tomatoes add a lovely acidity and moisture, which helps in deglazing the pan and bringing all those delicious flavors together. Cook until the tomatoes soften and meld into the onion mixture, creating a rich, hearty topping for our toast. This blend of tomatoes and onions, enriched with spices, will be the heart of our dish.
Pro Tip: Using ripe tomatoes will give the best flavor.
Step 4: Seasoning the mix
It's time to sprinkle magic into our mixture with turmeric. This golden spice not only brings color but an earthy flavor that's signature to many Indian dishes. After adding turmeric, cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Turmeric's health benefits are an added bonus to its delightful taste.
Pro Tip: A little turmeric goes a long way in color and flavor.
Step 5: Making the eggs
The crowning glory of our dish is the eggs. Crack them gently into the skillet, atop our savory mixture. Depending on your preference, cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or fully cook the yolks for a firmer bite. Stirring in chopped coriander gives a fresh, herbal lift, while salt and pepper to taste ensure our dish is well-seasoned. The eggs meld with the spices and veggies, soaking up all the flavors.
Pro Tip: Cover the pan for a minute or two for perfectly cooked sunny-side up eggs.
Step 6: Serving
Our final step is to assemble. Top each slice of your crispy toast with an equal portion of our beautifully cooked egg and spiced vegetable mix. The combination of crunchy toast with the soft, flavorful topping makes for a mouth-watering bite every time. Serve immediately for the best experience. This Indian-Style Eggs on Toast is more than just breakfast; it's a flavorful journey in every bite.
Pro Tip: Garnish with more fresh coriander for an extra burst of freshness.
