Quick & Easy Korean Egg Bread Recipe

Introduction

Quick & Easy Korean Egg Bread is a delightful treat combining fluffy, slightly sweet bread with a perfectly baked egg and savory bacon. This recipe is perfect for breakfast or a snack, offering a satisfying mix of textures and flavors in every bite.

Several small round egg muffins are arranged closely on a shiny white marbled surface. Each muffin has two main layers: a thick, golden brown baked base with a slightly crisp texture, and a top layer of white, fluffy baked egg whites with patches of light browning. Bright yellow, slightly runny egg yolks sit on top of the egg white layer, slightly sunken into the center. The muffins show uneven browned spots, giving a rustic and homemade look.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a dairy-free version)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted, or substitute with neutral oil for a dairy-free version)
  • 2 strips bacon (chopped into 1-cm wide pieces)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 3/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Add the large egg, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter to the flour mixture. Whisk gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  3. Step 3: Pour the batter equally into baking molds, filling each about halfway.
  4. Step 4: Crack one egg into each mold on top of the batter. Use a toothpick to gently pierce the yolk so it spreads evenly as it bakes.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle chopped bacon, shredded cheese, dried parsley flakes, and a pinch of salt and black pepper over each mold.
  6. Step 6: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 23-25 minutes, or until a clean toothpick inserted in the bread portion comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Remove from the molds and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and substitute butter with neutral oil.
  • Try adding chopped vegetables like bell peppers or green onions for extra flavor and color.
  • Use turkey bacon or omit bacon for a vegetarian option.
  • To keep the yolks runny, check the breads at 20 minutes and adjust baking time to your preference.

Storage

Store leftover egg breads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven to maintain texture. For best results, consume fresh.

How to Serve

The image shows four mini egg tarts on a white plate placed on a white marbled surface. Each tart has a thick golden brown crust forming the base. Inside the crust, there is a layer of soft, cooked egg white with a bright yellow yolk sitting slightly off-center. Scattered on top of the egg are small pieces of crispy bacon and bits of herbs adding green contrast. The textures range from the crispy crust, smooth egg, to the slightly rough bacon, arranged closely together with one tart split in half revealing the solid cooked egg inside.

FAQs

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Mix gently again before pouring into molds.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a dairy-free version)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted or sub with neutral oil for dairy-free version)

Toppings

  • 2 strips bacon (chopped into 1-cm wide pieces)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
  • 3/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined. Then add the egg, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter. Mix just until combined, being careful not to over mix to keep the bread tender.
  2. Fill the molds: Pour the bread batter evenly into baking molds or muffin tins, filling each mold about halfway to allow room for the egg and toppings.
  3. Add eggs: Crack one egg into each mold on top of the bread batter. Use a toothpick to gently pierce the egg yolk so it spreads out during baking for even cooking.
  4. Top with bacon and cheese: Sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces, shredded cheese, dried parsley flakes, and season each mold with a pinch of salt and black pepper evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the molds in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for 23-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when fully baked.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the baked egg breads from the molds and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Do not over mix the batter to ensure soft and fluffy bread texture.
  • Piercing the egg yolks helps them spread and cook evenly.
  • You can substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free option.
  • Toppings can be customized—try adding green onions or different cheeses for variation.
  • Use silicone or non-stick muffin molds to help easily remove the breads after baking.
