Eggs Kejrewal is a quick, simple and delicious eggs on a cheesy toast recipe. This recipe is great for breakfast, lunch, brunch or even a quick dinner on a busy night.
What is Eggs Kejrewal?
Apparently it is said that this recipe was created at the Willingdon Sports Club in Mumbai in 1960’s, in honor of Devi Prasad Kejriwal, a member who often requested this recipe of sunny side up eggs on a cheesy toast. Mr Kejrewal’s family did not eat eggs, so he asked that his eggs on toast be disguised. The chef’s at Willingdon Sports Club disguised the eggs by topping them up with a blanket of broiled cheese & chilies. Hence this brilliantly simple cheesy egg toast became popular at the club that it lives on today too.
My sister recently happened to order this dish at a Irani Cafe in Mumbai and has been raving about it ever since. My recipe isn’t authentic, I kept the base recipe idea same and came up with my own version. I have slathered the ghee toasted bread with green chutney, topped it up with cheese & placed a sunny side up seasoned with green chilies, onions, tomato and spices. This has become our current favorite brunch and I seriously don’t know of any dish that is easier and more satisfying. Besides, who can resist those radiant sunny side up eggs surrounded by green chutney and cheese!
Ingredients To Make Eggs Kejrewal
- Eggs
- Bread: I have used sourdough bread. Alternatively, you can replace sourdough with your favorite bread.
- Green Chutney: I use homemade green chutney. Alternatively, you can buy a jar of green chutney. If you make your own chutney you will need fresh mint, coriander, garlic, ginger, salt, sugar, green chilies & roasted chana dal.
- Salt, Chili Powder, Kanda Lasun Masala: I have seasoned my toast with salt, red chili powder and kanda lasun masala. The addition of onion garlic masala adds a spicy kick to this toast, but you can totally skip it.
- Cheese: I have used Amul Cheese Slice. Alternatively, you can use mild cheddar, pepper jack or gouda cheese in this recipe. Feel free to mix and match cheese of your choice.
Tips:
- Cook the eggs to your liking : This recipe calls for runny egg yolks. But if you don’t like a runny yolk, you can always cook it a little longer till the yolk is done.
- For a lower carb option – ditch the sourdough and just use a low carb keto bread.
