Two slices of bread cook into a folded omelette sandwich, with buttery toasted surfaces and a fully set egg layer tucked inside.
Cooking the bread and eggs together gives Bread Omelette a joined-up sandwich that holds its filling without a separate assembly step. The bread absorbs a little egg before the whole layer is flipped.
Use a nonstick skillet wide enough for both slices side by side. Keep the heat moderate so the egg sets before the underside browns too much, and flip with a broad spatula.
Method
Beat eggs with salt and black pepper. Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the eggs.
Lay both bread slices side by side on the wet egg, then turn each slice so both sides pick up some egg. Cook for until the egg layer is set enough to lift.
Flip the bread and attached omelette together with a broad spatula. Cook for until the eggs are fully set, fold the overhanging egg inward and fold one bread slice over the other. Toast for per side until golden.
Forkue tips
- If flipping the whole omelette feels awkward, slide it onto a plate and invert it back into the skillet.
Storing and reheating
Best eaten immediately while the bread is crisp. Refrigerate leftovers for 1 day and reheat in a covered skillet, then uncover to toast the outside.
