Tips, food safety & substitutions
Grate the paneer cold so it crumbles nicely into the pan. Food safety: fry eggs until the whites are fully set. Allergens: contains egg, milk (paneer) and wheat (bread). Substitute: use tofu instead of paneer, or add tomato slices on the toast. Nutrition figures are estimates only.
