Toast the slices of bread in a pan, lightly buttered, until they are golden brown. Set them aside.



Make eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper altogether. Then put a tablespoon of butter in a non-stick pan and place on low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Stir with the spatula for soft and fluffy scrambled eggs, and then immediately take out the pan while eggs are still quite runny in order not to overcook.


Prepare the Ham or Bacon
In the same pan, cook the ham or bacon until crispy. Set aside.


Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise and a drizzle of ketchup on one side of each toasted bread slice. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom slice. Add the cooked ham or bacon, followed by a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Top with another slice of cheese if desired, and finish with the second slice of bread.


Garnish and Serve
Chopped parsley or chives can add a fresh finish to the sandwich. Serve right away with favorite sides, perhaps a salad or hash browns.


Tips
Add an authentic Korean touch to the dish with a special egg drop sauce: mayonnaise, condensed milk, and just a hint of mustard.
The best texture and flavor come with thick, fluffy bread.

Enjoy the perfect combination of savory, creamy, and slightly sweet flavors in this Korean Egg Drop Sandwich—a great start to your day!
