Corn and Egg Toast: The Addictive Recipe
The Irresistible ‘Myeongyak’ Corn Egg Toast
Is your regular toast feeling a bit bland? Try topping it with corn! The delightful pop of corn kernels adds a fantastic flavor dimension. This recipe elevates simple toast into a delicious treat that’s hard to resist.
Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp canned corn
- Mayonnaise, for the edge
- 1 packet (approx. 50g) shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar)
- A pinch of sugar, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing one slice of bread. Using a butter knife or a regular knife, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise along the edges of the bread. This acts as a barrier to prevent the bread from burning and also helps to contain the egg and corn within the toast.
Step 2
Carefully crack one egg into the center of the bread, within the mayonnaise border you’ve created. Try to keep the yolk intact and centered. If you prefer a fully mixed egg, you can gently break the yolk now.
Step 3
To ensure the egg cooks evenly and to prevent it from puffing up too much or bursting in the microwave, gently pierce the egg yolk with a fork a couple of times. This allows steam to escape.
Step 4
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of canned corn over the egg and the surrounding bread. The sweet and juicy corn kernels will add a wonderful burst of flavor and texture. It’s best to drain the corn slightly before using.
Step 5
Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the corn and egg. Since microwave power varies, it’s recommended to heat in 30-second intervals for a total of about 1 minute and 30 seconds (3 x 30 seconds). This method helps melt the cheese perfectly while keeping the egg a delightful, soft-cooked consistency. Keep an eye on it and adjust the time as needed until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the egg is cooked to your liking.
Step 6
Once your ‘Myeongyak’ Corn Egg Toast is hot and ready, sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the top. This touch of sweetness perfectly balances the savory cheese, sweet corn, and rich egg for an incredibly delicious bite. It’s a quick and satisfying snack, especially delightful when paired with a banana milk. (For more details, visit: https://seunmi1981.tistory.com)
