What is Korean Egg Bread?
Korean Egg Bread is a very popular street food in South Korean. In Korean, it's called "Gyeran Bbang". "Gyeran" means egg and "Bbang" means bread. You'll see so many variations of this savory egg bread. Some variations include cheese, bacon or ham or some contain custard too! It's great for breakfast or as a snack. You'll see many hungry commuters or students picking up these up at a food stand as they are freshly made. You can serve them with ketchup or any condiment of your choice.
I love making these as they're pretty simple and they make the whole house smell so good as they bake in the oven!

How to Make Korean Egg Bread
Create batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ingredients until combined. Do not over mix.
Divide Batter in Molds
Pour enough batter to fill your molds or muffin tin halfway.
Crack an Egg
Crack an egg into each mold over the pancake batter. Pierce the egg yolk with a toothpick and let it bleed (I've personally found this tastes better than biting into a whole egg yolk)
Sprinkle Bacon and Cheese
Sprinkle chopped bacon and shredded cheese over top. Add dried parsley, salt and pepper over top.
Bake
Bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees F. Remove and let this cool before serving with your favourite condiment!

I wonder... How is matching vanilla with bacon or sausages or top egg? Also too much sugar for it... I'll try to make like this once...if I'll like it I'll make often. If not...Ʈl modify as per my taste...
Anyway, thank you for recipe.ššš

Ah I'm so sorry! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It should be 1/4 cup of melted vegan butter.

This is fantastic and so easy! I subbed GF AP flour. Iām wondering if you can bake just the batter?

I'm so happy to hear this! Thanks for making my recipe! Yes, you can just bake the batter. But reduce the baking time and check to see if it's cooked by poking a toothpick in to see if it comes clean.
