Korean Egg Drop Sandwich

Recipe Ingredients

To make this delicious Korean breakfast egg sandwich, you will need these recipe ingredients:

• 4 slices of brioche bread
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup of diced avocado
• 1 tablespoon of sriracha
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, condensed milk, diced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese. This filling will add a creamy and flavorful element to the sandwich.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. And feel free to add any spices of your choosing to add some extra flavor.

Cooking:

1. For the Korean egg drop technique, crack the eggs into a small bowl whisk them lightly and add heavy cream. This will allow your eggs to be fluffy and creamy.  You can add a pinch of salt or other seasonings of your choice.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil or butter to coat the surface.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the heated pan and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes. The eggs should start to set around the edges.
4. Using a spatula or chopsticks, gently stir the partially cooked eggs in one direction. This creates a soft, curd-like texture.
5. Continue to stir the eggs, breaking up any large curds, until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny. Avoid overcooking as the eggs will continue to cook from residual heat.
6. Remove the pan from heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs. They should be soft, tender, and moist.

Serving:

1. Toast your thick brioche bread to a golden brown or as dark as desired.
2. Take the thick slices of bread and spread the prepared filling on both sides of the bread.
3. Place a generous amount of the scrambled egg towards the middle on top of the filling.
4. Place some extra melted cheddar cheese if desired.
5. Drizzle some sriracha and more of your mayo sauce on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper for added flavor if desired.
6. Close the sandwich and enjoy.
