Roti John — Malaysian Omelette Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 soft baguette halves, split lengthwise
• 4 eggs
• ½ lb ground meat or extra egg, cooked (optional)
• ½ onion, minced
• 1 chili, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• Sauce: mayo + sriracha + a squeeze of ketchup
• Cucumber slices

Method

1. Whisk the eggs with the onion, chili, cooked meat if using, and a pinch of salt.
2. Melt butter in a wide pan over medium. Pour in HALF the egg mixture in the shape of your bread.
3. Now the move that makes it roti john: press the bread cut-side DOWN into the wet egg and let them fuse as it sets, 2 minutes.
4. Flip the whole bonded unit and crisp the bread side in the butter, 2 minutes. Repeat for the second sandwich.
5. Slather with the spicy-sweet sauce, add cucumber, close, and cut into hand-width pieces. Named, allegedly, after a request to make 'roti for John' — whoever John was, he ate well.
