Roti John

Ingredients

• 4 ozground beef
• 1onion, finely chopped
• 3eggs
• 1 tbspchili sauce or fresh chili
• 1 halfbaguette, split open lengthwise
• mayonnaise, to serve; optional
• sambal, to serve; optional
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• vegetable oil, for the pan

Method

1. 1

   Heat a little of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef and onion, breaking the meat up, for 5 to 6 minutes, until the beef is browned with no pink left and the onion is soft. Tip it into a bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.

2. 2

   Beat the eggs with the chili, salt and pepper, then stir in the beef and onion.

3. 3

   Wipe out the pan, add the rest of the oil and set it over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and spread it out to roughly the size of the bread.

4. 4

   Straight away, press the baguette halves cut-side down onto the mixture with a spatula so the bread soaks up the egg. Cook for 2 minutes, until the egg underneath has set.

5. 5

   Flip the baguette halves so the egg side faces up and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the bread is lightly crisp.

6. 6

   Take the bread off the heat, cut it into portions and spread with mayonnaise and sambal, if you like.
