Main Ingredients- Finely shredded cabbage, 1 handful (about 1 cup)
- Carrot, 1/8, finely shredded
- Onion, 1/2, finely shredded
- Green onion, 1 stalk, finely chopped
- 4 fresh eggs
- Mozzarella pizza cheese, 50g (about 1/2 cup)
- Herb salt, 1/4 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
- 6 slices of bread
- Unsalted butter, 1.5 tablespoons, for melting in the pan
- Ketchup, 3 tablespoons
- Sweet fruit jam, 3 tablespoons (your favorite kind, e.g., strawberry, grape)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Wash the cabbage, pat it dry, and shred it thinly to get about a handful. Shred the 1/8 carrot finely, and also shred half an onion to a similar thickness. Finely chop one stalk of green onion.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 4 fresh eggs. Add the shredded cabbage, carrot, onion, and green onion. Stir in the 50g of mozzarella cheese for a delicious gooey texture, and the 1/4 teaspoon of herb salt to enhance the flavor and remove any eggy smell. Mix everything well until evenly combined, almost like a batter for rolled omelets!
Step 3
Now it’s time to toast the bread. Prepare 6 slices of bread and measure out 1.5 tablespoons of butter. Heat a pan over low heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter, spreading it evenly across the pan. This will prevent the bread from burning and infuse it with a subtle buttery aroma.
Step 4
Place 2 slices of bread in the heated pan and toast them until golden brown on both sides. Once they have a nice golden color, transfer them to a wire rack to cool and crisp up. This step ensures your bread is extra crunchy and delicious. Repeat this process two more times for a total of 6 toasted bread slices.
Step 5
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Ladle about one portion of the egg mixture into the pan. As the mixture spreads, gently use a chopstick or spatula to gather the edges towards the center, shaping it to roughly the size of your bread slices. Cook over medium-low heat until golden brown on both sides. Repeat this process three times to create three thick, pan-fried egg patties.
Step 6
Here come the sauces that make this toast special! Prepare 3 tablespoons of ketchup and 3 tablespoons of fruit jam. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup evenly on one slice of toasted bread, and spread 1 tablespoon of jam on another slice. Feel free to adjust the amounts of ketchup and jam to your personal preference.
Step 7
Finally, place one of the thick pan-fried egg patties on the bread slice spread with ketchup. Top it with the jam-covered bread slice to complete your nostalgic street toast! It’s best enjoyed while still warm.
