Ayesha’s Kitchen

Ingredients:

  • 4 all butter croissants
  • 4 eggs + 4 tbspns cooking cream
  • Some room temperature butter
  • 8 cheese slices (I use Devondale processed)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (I use Heinz, it is the best)
  • Some salt & pepper

Method:

  1. Cut the croissants from the middle horizontally and get them ready to toast.
  2. Cut each cheese slice in 4 triangles.
  3. Meanwhile, beat eggs with salt, pepper & cream and make 4 small omelettes in butter. The cream and the whisking will make it fluffy with folds.
  4. Apply some mayo inside the slit of toasted croissants and lay a layer of cheese, then omelette and then another layer of cheese. (2 slices of cheese per croissant)
  5. Serve hot with steamy hot chocolate or coffee.

Egg Bhurji

Leave a reply

Egg bhurji is inspired by South Asian cuisine. They add spices in everything man! I never tried this just because my mind was not accepting the idea of having too much spices in the egg for breakfast but then I tried a cheese omelette at one of my best friend’s home where she put cumin and coriander in it and OMG Yessss! it was great. So from there I got inspired to try this at home and it came out so perfect. Here is the recipe for you, if you are traumatised by the idea of having all the spices in egg, believe me its not bad at all, go with my believe and try this ❤ I am sure you will love it!

There are several ways of making Club sandwiches but here I am gonna tell you the recipe of one of my favourites and the one I grew up eating, Chicken club sandwich. It is a very common snack sandwich in Pakistan which is served at almost every restaurant in the country. You can get it at Lahore International Airport as well.

It is a 2 storey sandwich, one layered with creamy chicken filling and the other one with boiled egg, lettuce and tomato. Tastes yummy with hot fries and coleslaw.
