Egg Sandwich

Sandwiches are enjoyed with extreme pleasure at my place. There was this Sandwich Maker my Mother gifted us during our Wedding when she came to know her Son-In-Law loved Sandwiches. However, due to our ‘hippie-like’ lifestyle, the Sandwich Maker was hidden in our Store Room for more than 18 months, used last time before we had moved from our previous house to this one.

Today I had plans to make him some Fried Eggs and Toasts for Breakfast when the thought of Sandwiches suddenly crossed my mind and I found that it did not take me a great deal to take it out from its hideout and give it some work to do.

I did not have any particular filling in mind; neither did I have anything worthwhile in my stockpile. Hence I scrambled a few Eggs with some veggies and herbs, applied some Cheese Spread on the Multi-Grain Bread slices, filled in the stuffing and put them in the Sandwich Maker & grilled. Once done, I gave them a minute to cool, sliced them diagonally and brushed a little Butter on the grilled slices; served them with a dip and some store bought Chips .. ‘A’ was super happy!! I am not putting the Sandwich Maker in the Store Room any more :P

Here is what you will need to make this Egg Sandwich:

Bread slices – 4 (preferably Sandwich Bread, though I used regular ones)

Eggs -2, beaten with Salt and Paprika/Red Chilli Powder to taste

Olive Oil or any other Cooking Oil that you use – 2 tsp

Garlic cloves - 2 – finely chopped

Onion – 1 medium, finely Chopped

Tomato – 1 medium, finely chopped

Green Chillies – 2 – chopped – to taste

Cheese Spread

Butter – to brush on the Grilled Bread Slices

Oregano Seasoning – ½ tsp - optional

Basil – ½ tsp – optional

Red Chilli Flakes – 1 pinch – optional

Any dip of your choice

Some Chips – to your choice – optional

Here is what I did:

Beat the Eggs together with Salt and Red Chilli Powder and keep

Heat a pan with Olive Oil

Add the chopped Garlic to flavour the Oil

After a minute, add the chopped Green Chillies and Onion – cook till Onions are translucent

Add the chopped Tomatoes – cook for another 2 minutes

Add the seasoning of your choice – Oregano Seasoning, Basil & Red Chilli Flakes

Add the already beaten Eggs and keep stirring

Cook till the Eggs are done

Apply Cheese Spread on the Bread slices

Hold a slice on your palm and put the filling on it, do not over-stuff, do not under-stuff either ;)

Cover with the second slice

Repeat the process for as many Sandwiches as you are making

Put them in the Sandwich Maker , wait till it signals they are done

Remove with Tongs and leave for a minute on a clean surface

Slice diagonally from between, brush Butter on the slices on one side (see the butter melting as soon as you apply as the Sandwiches are hot)

Serve with Dip and Chips of your choice .. tastes heavenly .. VOILA!
