Egg Bread

A popular street food snack in Myeongdong Night Market, Egg Bread, also known as gyeran-ppang, is a delicious treat enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. This delectable snack is made by baking a sweet batter filled with a whole egg in the center, resulting in a fluffy and slightly sweet bread with a delightful gooey surprise inside.

The process of making Egg Bread starts with preparing a simple batter using flour, sugar, milk, and eggs. The batter is then poured into individual molds or a special gyeran-ppang pan, which has small depressions to hold the eggs. A whole egg is carefully placed in each mold before the pan is covered and baked to perfection.

As the bread bakes, the batter rises and creates a soft and spongy texture. The egg in the center cooks slowly, resulting in a slightly runny yolk that adds a rich and savory element to the overall flavor profile. The combination of the sweet bread and the savory egg creates a wonderful balance of flavors that is truly irresistible.

Egg Bread is commonly enjoyed as a breakfast or an afternoon snack. It is often eaten on the go, making it a convenient and satisfying option for busy individuals. The warm and fluffy bread, combined with the oozy egg center, provides a comforting and filling treat that is perfect for any time of the day.
