There are those of us who love eggs. Yes, simply love them. There are others for whom breakfast is not breakfast without eggs. And, such people are forever looking for newer ways to incorporate eggs in their diet.
I agree, eggs are the most malleable ingredient. Now, now…I know malleable is, strictly speaking, incorrect use here but how else would you describe the humble egg which goes along with everything? Which can be beaten into submission and virtually incorporated into anything to make it more palatable?
This is my humble take on eggs for breakfast.
The original recipe for this comes from my mother. Hers has a more Indian touch with Indian spices like cumin seeds, cumin powder etc. Mine…well, mine is a tad more cosmopolitan.
EGGS AND BREAD PANCAKE
