I love eating this 'egg bread' on the streets of Seoul. Usually, it is just made up of a pancake-like dough with egg. I have pimped out this version with some bacon, tomato and gooey cheese. I can see why it is such a popular street food, as it is so easy to eat on the go, yet still a completely gratifying breakfast.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 9 egg breads

Ingredients

For the egg bread:

250g (9oz) plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
250ml (8fl oz) whole milk
2 tsp butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten

Toppings:

9 egg yolks
120g (3 1/4 oz) bacon, diced
90g (3oz) tomato, diced
120g (3 1/4 oz) mozzarella cheese, grated
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
15g (1/2 oz) chives, chopped, to serve

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/400°F/gas 6 and line a nine-hole muffin tin with paper cases.

    Step 2

    For the batter, put the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.

    Step 3

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, butter and eggs.

    Step 4

    Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into it. Gradually whisk it all together until fully blended and smooth.

    Step 5

    Divide the mixture between the holes of the muffin tin and add an egg yolk to the top of each one. Sprinkle a little bacon, tomato, cheese and a pinch of salt over each one.

    Step 6

    Bake the bread for 20–25 minutes, until set and golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.
