baked roti john

Roti john is an omelette sandwich and is a popular snack in Singapore.

The traditional roti john comprises a baguette that is halved lengthways and a filling of egg, minced meat, chopped onions, etc spread onto the baguette. The baguette is then placed filling side down on a hot plate and pan fried.

As Da and I were given a baguette by Da's mother, I was in the mood to make roti john. However, I was not inclined to pan fry the roti john. As such, I decided to bake the roti john instead.

The beauty of this dish is that you can make it the traditional way (that is, using minced meat, sardine, egg and onions) or you can use leftover ingredients from your dinner the night before.
