🥄 Texture

Crunchy toasted bread provides a firm, crisp base while the eggs are soft, fluffy and slightly creamy. Caramelized onions contribute a silky, slightly sticky layer that contrasts nicely with the toast.

👃 Aroma

Warm, toasty bread and nutty, toasted cumin form the dominant aromatic notes, joined by sweet, caramelized onion fragrance. The cooked eggs add a mild, savory, comforting scent that rounds out the profile.

🍷 Pairs Well With

English breakfast tea or a medium‑roast coffee; alternatively, freshly squeezed orange juice for a bright contrast.

🥗 Side Dishes

A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette, roasted cherry tomatoes, or a light cucumber salad work well; for heartier options try crispy hash browns or a fresh fruit bowl.

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for 10 seconds, then add the sliced onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown and soft.

While the onions cook, toast the bread slices in a separate dry pan or toaster until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Set the toast aside on a plate.

In a small bowl, crack the 3 eggs and beat them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until well mixed.

Push the cooked onions to the side of the pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble gently with a wooden spoon or spatula for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are fluffy and cooked through.

Divide the scrambled eggs and caramelized onions equally among the 4 toast slices. Serve immediately while hot.
