Key Ingredients for 4 Toasts- 8 slices of bread
- 1/4 head of cabbage
- 6 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt (level)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the core ingredients for making four toasts. Finely shred the fresh cabbage. Crack the 6 eggs into a bowl, add the level teaspoon of salt, and whisk gently to create the egg mixture. No need to whisk too vigorously.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to sauté the additional ingredients. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. (You can also add julienned carrots at this stage if you like).
Step 3
Add the sautéed onions (and carrots) to the whisked egg mixture and stir lightly to combine. Carefully pour this mixture into the pan and let it cook until the egg is set. Cooking on low heat ensures it doesn’t burn and results in a tender omelet.
Step 4
Once the egg mixture is partially set, carefully flip it with a spatula to cook the other side until it’s golden brown and nicely colored. Ensure both sides are evenly cooked. Set the cooked egg omelet aside on a plate.
Step 5
Next, it’s time to toast the bread. Lightly butter a clean pan and place the bread slices on it. Toast both sides until golden brown and slightly crispy. Sprinkle generously with sugar while toasting. The sugar will melt and caramelize, adding a delightful sweetness. (Forget about calories for this moment!)
Step 6
Spread a layer of ketchup on one side of the toasted bread, according to your preference. Be mindful of the amount to avoid making it too salty.
Step 7
Place the prepared egg omelet (with cabbage and onions) neatly on top of the ketchup-spread toast.
Step 8
Finally, cover with another slice of toasted bread. Your delicious, nostalgic Changdong Grandma’s Toast is now complete! It’s best enjoyed warm, right away.
