Instructions
Prepare the baguette:
Toast the baguette in the oven or toaster oven for 5 minutes. If you use a long baguette, cut in half. Slice the baguette horizontally with serrated knife and take care not to cut through all the way
Cooking:
Add pinch of salt and black pepper to the egg and lightly beat it. Set aside. Add curry powder and a small pinch of salt to the ground meat and stir to combine
Preheat a non-stick pan, large enough for your baguette. Add onion and stir fry until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ground meat and continue to stir fry until the meat turns color. Push everything towards the middle of the pan. Pour the egg over the meat and then get your baguette and put the cut side down on top of the egg mixture and press it down so the bread absorbs some of the juices and eggs and the mixture will stick to the bread too. Gently push in the filling that oozes out from the side. Cook until the eggs are set
Remove from the heat and with quickly flip this over a plate or you can use a turner to flip the bread over on the plate so the filling side is facing up
If you want to add cheese, quickly add the cheese on top of the filling when the filling is still warm so it can slowly melt the cheese. Top with lettuce, cucumber, and/or tomato slices if you like
