Ingredients

2 slices sourdough or crusty bread (also works great on Shemin’s Indian Breads)
2 heaped tsp Shemin’s Aubergine Pickle
2–4 tbsp grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
2 large free-range eggs
1 small green chilli, finely sliced (adjust to taste)
Few sprigs of fresh coriander
½ tsp Shemin’s Chilli Garlic Salt
A little olive oil or ghee for frying
Optional: Sliced fennel or salad on the side

How to make Mumbai Style Eggs On Toast

Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices until golden and crispy on the outside.
Build the Base: Spread Shemin’s Aubergine Pickle generously on each slice. Top with grated cheese and place under a hot grill for 1–2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Fry the Eggs: Heat a little oil or ghee in a pan. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Season with black pepper.
Assemble: Place the fried eggs on top of the cheesy toast. Sprinkle with Shemin’s Chilli Garlic Salt, sliced green chillies, and coriander leaves.
Serve Immediately: Optional: Add a simple salad on the side like sliced fennel with lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.

Tips

Tips:

Smoky twist: Char the bread over a gas flame or BBQ for smoky depth.
Egg swap: Poached or soft-boiled eggs work just as well.
Texture boost: Sprinkle a few Shemin’s Cumin Seeds on top of the cheese before grilling.
Balance it out: A fresh salad (fennel, rocket, cucumber) cuts through the richness beautifully.
