Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the milk, finely chopped onion, finely chopped green chillies, ground coriander, ground cumin, fresh coriander, salt, and a generous grinding of black pepper. Beat with a fork until everything is well combined, then set aside.
-
Step 2.
Heat 1 teaspoon each of unsalted butter and vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
Step 3.
While the butter is melting, dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture until nicely soaked and crusted with the onion, herbs, and spices. Lay the coated bread in the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes, until the bottom is crisp and golden. Flip and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan, set aside, and keep warm.
-
Step 4.
Repeat the process with the remaining oil, butter, and bread, cooking each slice individually. Serve hot, drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
