Tips for the Best Omelette Sandwich

A few simple tricks can make this breakfast even better.

Use medium heat

Cooking too quickly can burn the bread before the eggs are fully cooked.

Press the bread gently

This ensures the bread sticks to the omelette while cooking.

Add cheese before folding

This helps it melt perfectly into the eggs.

Customize the spice level

Add more green chili if you like extra heat.
