Ingredients
- 2 slice white bread
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 slice ham (or 1 rindless bacon rasher)
- A pinch fine sea salt
- 1 slice cheese ((optional))
- A pinch parsley ((optional))
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 356F.
- 2
Cut the ham/bacon rasher into 4 small square pieces for a simple Korean flag version (per TV program). Alternatively, you could slice the ham/bacon into the real Korean flag stripes.
- 3
Place one slice of bread on a board. Squeeze and spread mayonnaise with a spread knife thoroughly on one side.
- 4
Place another slice of bread on a board. Make a round hole on the bread using a round shaped cookie cutter or any round shaped object that’s strong and sharp enough to cut through the bread. (I used 1/2 cup stainless steel measuring cup.)
- 5
Place the bread slice (with a hole) from step 4 on top of the mayo spread bread slice from step 3. (Optionally, you could insert a slice of cheese in between the bread for a more savory cheesy taste.)
- 6
Squeeze the mayonnaise around the edge of the top bread slice.
- 7
Break the egg in the hole and sprinkle a pinch of salt on the egg. (Optionally, you could also add a pinch parsley on the egg.) Place the ham/bacon on the four corners of the bread.
- 8
Cook the bread in the oven for 20 mins. (If you prefer slightly runnier egg white and yolk, cook it for 15 mins or less.)
- 9
Serve. (It tastes great with a cup of fresh fruit juice.)
