Are you ready to elevate your breakfast game with a burst of Korean flavors? Join me on a culinary journey to the bustling streets of Seoul as we explore the delectable world of Korean Street Toast.

The Inspiration
Korean street food is renowned for its bold flavors and innovative twists on classic dishes. From spicy tteokbokki to crispy fried chicken, the streets of Seoul are a food lover’s paradise. Korean Street Toast, also known as Gyeran-ppang, is a popular breakfast option that can be found on almost every street corner in South Korea. It’s simple yet satisfying, making it the perfect on-the-go meal for busy commuters and hungry foodies alike.
The Concept
At its core, Korean Street Toast is a humble sandwich that packs a punch. It typically consists of fluffy white bread, eggs, vegetables, and various fillings such as ham, cheese, and spicy sauce. The magic lies in the preparation—each ingredient is carefully layered and grilled to perfection, resulting in a crispy, golden-brown exterior, and a gooey, melty interior.
The Recipe
For my Korean Street Toast adventure, I decided to keep it as traditional as I could. I used Dave’s Everything Bread and a classic combination of eggs, cabbage, carrots, onions, green onions, and bacon.
