This is a fun way to make egg sandwiches for one. It’s a technique that’s inspired by Anda Toast, the Indian egg toast you find in the streets of Calcutta.
I’ve never been to Calcutta, but if you are to believe everything you see on the internet (and why wouldn’t you), anda toast made by cooking a thin omelet of eggs seasoned with onions, cilantro, and chiles in a sizzling hot skillet until the bottom is set but the top is still runny. A couple slices of soft bread are added to the top of the still-runny omelet, then the omelet is folded around the bread before being turned out onto a plate. It winds up looking halfway between an omelet and French Toast.

Cheese? Cheese is solid sauce.
Did you just tell us how to make any cheese melt like American cheese? Or am I wishing that you did?
The Pueblo Slopper🤣
Bro, the way you nervously handle everything like you're dealing with the shakes makes me annoyed but I keep watching the vids, that dog is a taste tester just like me.
I loved going to the Swinging Door. Mostly for Boddingtons on tap, but I also loved their fish and chips – very unique way of breading fish. Can you create a recipe like that?
I love how Kenji’s nails match the yellow and pink of his shirt and apron!!
Next video has to be you making the biggest ole pueblo slopper now
haven't had a slopper in so long 😭
Damn, Kenjis looking fit af compared to his vids 2 years ago; congrats 💪
I think it's this one? https://youtu.be/zIfxBh0RF30?si=MGL5rEdbFsVVRiM1
I'm addicted to your channel and the Serious Eats site. My wife is addicted to my cooking (which is a function of my time spent watching your videos and browsing Serious Eats.)
Thank you so much for all you do. The folds on that sandwich blew my mind. I'm just thinking of how I can integrate my homemade mayo into this…
Loved the late night vids, but also really enjoyed this! There will always be a place for enjoying unhealthy late-night vibes-based recipes on this scientific channel though 😂
Can you please make a Al Pastor Taco video for home cooks? I just got back from Mexico and I’m already craving them!
Hey kenji! Is that a new dog?
Not sure why I got notification of this random cooking video but I'm glad i did. Now I know what to make the morning after my work christmas party.
I saw your painted nails and I never knew you were gay! I hardly watch your content and now I'm gonna binge it all lmfao.
oh my god, why do have to be your hands so busy and restless all the time? spinning the engl. muffins in the pan for the 5 th time will do nothing to improve anything. relax dude. if there is nothing to do, tell your story and do nothing.
Hoboken squat cobbler
Why is it called canadian bacon when it's clearly a slice of ham?
I got the reference between sausage and meat and American cheese to cheese – it is a very insightful analogy. But here is the problem: you get super cheap and crappy hot dog links versus artisanal produced sausage. However in processed cheese, you mostly get only the relative crap what big companies are churning out!
I have got no issues with compound cheese, only a problem with cheap, mass produced crap!
Well, we all KNOW that the Pueblo Slopper will take its place alongside the Cleveland Steamer.
I miss the kenji pov late night blank videos 😔
It seems overly complicated and frought for the flip, for no real texture or taste advantage over making it traditionally. Diminishing returns.
J. Kenji is getting leaner or am I hallucinating?
Omg! I've always wondered about American cheese… like is it cheese? Is it just Kraft? Thanks for the explanation, Kenji! <3
Is the pan you are using a Misen? I have a 10" misen & love it. I use it for almost everything.
I love the look of this and I’ll be doing it for sure. I must add, I love Kenji’s work and have “Food Lab.” one of my favorite food related books. But I had to stop watching his YouTube because wearing the camera while filming was impossible for me to watch. With this style, I’m back. Thank you.
Great method. Long Island Bodegas and Delis have been making egg sandwiches like this for decades
Hey Kenji! I miss your POV late night meals videos I hope you make one soon
Love the Apizza Schools T-shirt peaking out!
aww thats super cute that your vids we remember from back then were just from your karaoke excursions
i might have to go to colorado now
