Egg bread we had in Myeongdong, Seoul


Unlike the name suggests, it’s not technically a bread since the batter is more like a pancake. That also means this can be made in less than 30 mins start to finish, making it a perfect brunch.⁣


I’ve added mozzarella, spring onion and ham to mine but you can get even more creative with the topping.⁣



I have a mini loaf pan but you can use a large muffin tin or ramekins.⁣
