The next installment in Hot Rox recipe corner is my version of Roti John, a savory french toast dish made at hawker stalls in Singapore and Malaysia. Traditional Roti John is made by dipping a sliced baguette in an egg and onion batter and served with chili sauce on the side. A perfect match for ice cold Tiger Beer.My version is made as a pizza, with the chili sauce playing the role of pizza sauce and cheese added as pizza toppings. It uses pre-made pizza crusts instead of baguettes, and is baked like a pizza instead of fried. Adding mozzarella cheese (which isn't used in a lot of asian cuisine) creates a pan-cultural California style pizza that stands up to anything served at CPK.
Roti John Pizza
2 Mini 8" pizza crusts.
2 eggs (beaten)
1 handful green onions (chopped)
1 bunch of mushrooms (chopped)
1/2 mix of tomato sauce and sweet chile sauce
grated mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to hot (450F is pretty hot).
Spread the tomato/chili mixture (this is the "pizza sauce") on top of the crusts.
Beat the two eggs in a bowl and add the green onions and mushrooms, to make an omelette. Spread this egg mixture on top of the pizza crusts. Top with grated cheese and more onions. Cook for 10-13 minutes until the top browns.
Allow to cool for five minutes, then slice and eat. This matches well with beer, if you're concerned that you aren't getting enough carbs in your diet.

Damn, Steve, that sounds great! If you're making it to GR, you'll have to do these up for all of us...
