In short: Learn how to craft a unique egg sandwich inspired by the Anda Toast of Calcutta. This method involves folding a thin, seasoned omelet around soft bread, resulting in a dish that sits somewhere between a classic omelet and French toast.

The process begins by cooking a thin omelet in a hot skillet, seasoned with onions, cilantro, and chiles. The key is to keep the top of the eggs runny while the base sets, allowing you to place slices of soft bread directly onto the surface.

Once the bread is positioned, the edges of the omelet are folded over to encase the bread. The final result is a quick, single-serving meal that mimics the style of Indian street food found in Calcutta.
