While looking for inspiration for today’s event, I came across the idea for Gyeran Bbang (계란빵, Korean Egg Bread) over on Aeri’s Kitchen! My son’s current favorite foods are eggs and bread, so they were a huge it.

Gyeran Bbang (Gyeran-Ppang) is a Korean street food created by baking a bread/pancake-like batter with an entire egg. The resulting sweet and savory combination with the light bread is such a fun and delicious treat.

The batter is very simple to make with no yeast involved and just whisking everything together. It is also easily customizable with an abundance of different topping options.

I usually leave about half plain for the kids with just a sprinkling of salt. Chad and I especially love the rest topped with chopped bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.

Other options include sausage, ham, chives, green onions, chopped tomatoes, mayonnaise, and more.

I prefer the look of a single layer of batter with the egg baked on top. If desired, you can fill the muffin tins with a tablespoon or so of batter, cover with the whole egg, and finally top with more batter, sandwich-style.

A Few Tips

The batter should be thick enough to spoon into the individual tins, but not completely thin. If too thick, add a little more milk. If too thin to hold up the egg, add a little more flour.

My grocery store usually does not have small eggs (minus quail eggs which would have been way too small). Definitely try to get small to medium eggs if available. I try to pick the smaller ones from my carton of large eggs for this recipe. In a pinch, I sometimes carefully discard a little of the egg white before transferring the egg to the tin.

You can make this bread in round, rectangular, or oval shapes depending on the type of pan. I use either regular muffin tins or mini loaf pans. The mini loaf pans are larger, so I usually get about 4-6 Gyeran Bbang with them.

Make sure you grease the tins well. The egg especially tends to stick. Allow to rest in the tins for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. If needed, use a plastic knife to gently and carefully release the edges.

I cooked the egg bread at 350˚F (180˚C) to keep a more light and fluffy texture. For a more golden color, bump the temperature up to 400˚F (200˚C)- cooking time may vary.

The Gyeran Bbang is best shortly after baking.
