What Is An Egg Drop Sandwich And What's It Made Of?
By C.A. Pinkham
While many cultures around the world offer tasty breakfast sandwiches, South Korea is home to a breakfast concoction called an egg drop sandwich that puts other varieties to shame.
This simple sandwich features fluffy eggs, a unique yet easy-to-make sauce, cheddar or American cheese, and a pork product between two pieces of thick-cut egg bread, like brioche.
Fluffy eggs are the star of this sandwich, so preparation is key. You can scramble them with milk and a pinch of salt and sugar to give them that signature, fluffy, creamy texture.
The sauce is equally as important, featuring a 2:1 ratio of mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk. You can add a spicy component to the mix, like hot sauce or Sriracha.
Add your favorite breakfast meat or meat alternative to amp up your egg drop sandwich — ham, sausage, bacon, or whatever kind you prefer that pairs well with the eggs.
Although the words "egg drop" probably make you think of the Chinese soup with the same name, this sandwich attained popularity thanks to a Korean franchise called EGGDROP.
They serve many drool-worthy items, but this sandwich is their signature. The best part is that it's simple enough to make at home, while still offering a satisfying experience.
