Bombay Chili Crunch fried Crispy Egg with Golden Butter

Ingredients:

1 egg

A jar of Bombay Chili Crunch

3 tsp Vadouvan Masala

1/2 cup unsalted Butter (at room temp)

1 tsp Salt

1/4 Lemon

1 slice of Sourdough Bread

2-3 slices of Tomato

3-4 slices of Persian Cucumber

1/2 tbsp chopped Scallions (optional)

1/2 tbsp chopped Cilantro (optional)

1/2 tbsp chopped Dill (optional)

Method:

1. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat

2. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp of Bombay Chili Crunch to the pan

3. Next, crack one Egg over the Bombay Chili Crunch and reduce the heat to medium-low

4. While the egg cooks, let’s make our Golden Butter!

5. Take 1/2 cup of room temperature Unsalted Butter in a bowl

6. We’re going to add 3 tsp of Vadouvan Masala, 1 tsp Salt and a Squeeze of Lemon Juice to this and mix it all really well! And your Golden Butter is ready! – NOTE: you can easily substitute Butter with Cream Cheese to spread over Bagels or even a non dairy option to make it Vegan friendly!

7. Your egg should be cooked by now, it only takes a minute or two depending on how runny you like the yolk! Take it off the heat and set aside while we prepare our toast.

8. Have a heated skillet ready to toast your bread. Spread the Golden Butter on both sides of a slice of bread of your choice and place it on a hot skillet. Toast each side for 30-45 seconds and place on the serving plate.

9. Now add sliced Tomatoes to your toast and next layer a few slices of Cucumbers on top. Finally, place your cooked Bombay Chili Crunch Egg on top of the Cucumbers.

Finally, drizzle a little extra Chili Crunch on the egg, top off with sliced scallions or herbs of your choice and enjoy!
