Korean Street Toast (Gilgeori-toast 길거리토스트). It’s basically a Korean breakfast sandwich. There’s no one way to make it but it’s usually egg mixed with various veggies that is fried into a patty and put on buttered toast (think made like a grilled cheese). It’s gotten super popular in Korea as a quick street food breakfast and there’s Korean Toast shops popping up all around the world now. Here’s a recipe from Maangchi, but you can put basically anything you want on it. This one had ham, cheese, and a sweet gochujang sauce on it. Got it from a vendor in a local Korean themed food hall.

    That looks like a simple yet lovely combination of flavors. I see that unlike the Japanese sando, they leave the crust on here.

      I’m not sure what all was mixed in with the egg but the whole thing was delicious. Sweet, savory, and spicy all in one and the texture of the egg was very light and airy, with a nice crunch from the veggies. And of course, very cheesy, which is always welcome. It was very strange, but also familiar as it was like a fancy grilled cheese sandwich.

      Oh yes, it’s a very specific thing, in that it is a “breakfast toaster” essentially. Toasted bread and egg is essential.
