I'm messy; adapted version of Roti John

Roti John! Yep, my all time favourite! I have been craving for it as I can only manage to get the best Roti John from bazaar during the fasting period. So, here's my adapted version of Roti John. Basically, Roti John is an omlette sandwich using a baguette-type loaf and usually minced meat is used as filling but here I have made my very own adapted version of Roti John which is easy, healthier and scrumptiously-good!

Adapted Version of Roti John
(served 4 )

• 4 baguette-type loaf/ hotdog buns
• 4  eggs
• one can of tuna
• 2 medium-sized shallots
• lettuce
• tomato
• Kewpie chessy mayo
• butter
• salt
• black pepper
• teriyaki sauce (optional)
• dried basil

1.  Cut the loaves horizontally and spread some butter. Set aside.
2. Slice the shallots and saute them till aromatic and slightly browned.
3. Pour the olive oil/water in the tuna can away. (you may keep the olive oil) Cook the tuna with the onion for around 3-5 minutes to dry some of the water content.
4. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, dried basil and one teaspoon of teriyaki sauce.
5. Beat the eggs well.with the onion and tun.
6. Heat a non-stick pan with some olive oil over low fire. 
7. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, preferably 1/2 cm thick.
8. Open up the loaves horizontally and face the side spread with butter downwards so that it immerse in the egg mixture. Put as many loaves as you can, depending on the size of your pan.
9. When the bottom of the egg has turned golden-brown and the egg mixture has set onto the loaves, flip the loaves over. Grill the loaves on every side, you may heat longer with more butter for some crisp on the bread. (I have omitted this)
10. Remove the loaves from the pan and served with a generous amount of lettuce and sliced tomato
11. Drizzle desired amount of the cheesy mayo or even tomato sauce. (create your very Roti John with any toppings you like!)
