1. Fry half the onion in the oil for 3 minutes, add the minced meat and curry powder, and fry until crumbly, season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly. ⏱ Timer: 3 min
2. Beat the eggs, and stir in the fried meat, the remaining onion and the chilli.
3. Cut the baguette into two 20 cm pieces, and slice each in half lengthways.
4. Melt half the butter in a pan, pour in half the egg mixture, and immediately lay two baguette halves on top, cut side down.
5. Fry over medium heat for 3 minutes, until the egg sets and sticks to the bread, then flip, and toast the crust side for 1 minute. Cook the other portion the same way. ⏱ Timer: 3 min
6. Stripe the top with mayonnaise and chilli sauce, and serve with cucumber and tomato.

Tips

• Can also be made meat-free with sardines, or just an onion-and-chilli egg.
• Press the bread slightly flat before frying, so the egg sticks better.
