I’m a HUGE fan of breakfast sandwiches (see my previous French Toast 3 Ways post for proof!). So when I first saw this Indian-style omelette sandwich, or bread omelette, trend I knew I had to see if it’s something I could recreate at home. The answer?

Yes, you can (and should!) make a bread omelette at home

Lots of delicious add-ins work well here too, like green chutney, chaat masala, shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes. I decided to keep mine really simple with cheese and ham, but if you try other toppings let us know by tagging us @goustocooking on Instagram!

Not only is this trick easy and impressive, it’s also tasty and quick – I definitely recommend giving it a go.

Omelette Sandwich (‘Bread Omelette’) with Cheese and Ham

10g butter

3 eggs

Pinch of salt

2 slices of white bread from a 400g loaf

40g cheddar cheese, grated

2 slices of ham

Step 1: Heat butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium, making sure the bottom is completely covered.Whisk the egg with a pinch of salt.

Step 2: Pour into the pan and add the bread, flipping each piece over so both sides are coated in egg. Place the bread slices end to end, with a little gap between. This will help when you coat them in egg.

Step 3: Fry the bread in the egg for 4-5 minutes until the egg has set. Carefully flip the whole thing over and add grated cheese to both slices of bread. Top one of the slices with ham.

Step 4: Using a spatula, carefully fold over the sides of the egg into the middle of the pan, then fold one side of the sandwich up and over onto the other one.

Step 5: Fry for a further 2 minutes on each side to heat through the filling, then serve hot.

More of a sweet fan? Give this deliciously sticky-sweet twist a try with Biscoff spread and sweet seasonal raspberries.

French Toast Biscoff and Raspberry Sandwich

10g butter

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 tbsp sugar

½ tsp ground cinnamon

2 slices of white bread from a 400g loaf

35g biscoff spread (can’t find it? You can substitute with peanut butter)

40g fresh raspberries

Step 1: Heat butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium. Make sure the bottom of the pan is completely covered. Whisk egg, vanilla and 2 tbsp sugar in a bowl. Mix cinnamon and remaining sugar on a plate, and set aside.

Step 2: Pour the mixture into the pan and add the bread, flipping each piece over so both sides are coated in egg. Place the bread slices end to end, with a little gap between. This will help when you coat them in egg.

Step 3: Fry the bread in the egg for 4-5 minutes until the egg has set. Then, carefully flip the whole thing over, so the egg mixture is on top. Spread Biscoff on one slice of bread and top with raspberries.

Step 4: Use a spatula to carefully fold the sides of the egg in on themselves. Then fold one side of the sandwich up and over onto the other one, creating a sandwich of fried egg, biscoff and raspberries.

Step 5: Fry for 2 mins on each side to heat through the filling. Then remove and place on the cinnamon sugar tray. Coat, and serve hot.
