Why does the bread go soggy?

Too much egg liquid or low heat. Bread omelette needs a hot pan so the egg sets before soaking the crumb.

Can I use leftover bread?

Yes—slightly dry slices hold Indian street-style egg toast better than ultra-fresh soft bread.

How many eggs per slice?

About one egg per bread slice keeps Bread omelette balanced without overflowing the pan.

A thin film of oil or ghee is enough; excess fat makes the toast greasy.
