This Christmas morning I surprised my husband with his favorite Korean street food! The only thing I added was some sunflower seeds on the top and I doubled the recipe to have leftovers. It was my first time making these and they turned out great! So delicious! I’m so grateful for your YouTube videos and recipes. Thank you!

Wow sunflower seeds make this look special, like it’s from the bakery!
Hi Maangchi! Hope you’re having a great time in your kitchen. After trying your Kkwabaegi now I tried the egg bread following your recipe though cheese and mini loaf pan weren’t available I still made it. It tasted awesome and I’ll definitely do this again and again. My husband will surely love this when he comes back from Australia.
Thank you

The see-through egg yolk looks delightful! Congratulations!
Did your husband like it? I know you left this comment a long time ago! : )
Hi, first time I made this I was in the Philippines alone and now living here in Sydney, Australia with my husband and YES! he liked it when I made this gyeran-ppang and not only him even his 3 year old nephew asked for more after eating his share . Thanks again for the recipe

Hi Maangchi,
I baked this twice yesterday and today, but both were quite dense. The first one I suspected of overmixing, but today I was careful. Any idea why? I so want to make this well as it’s so easy and makes a good breakfast.

I have just baked this and it is quite dense as well. No idea what went wrong???
Baking powder makes this fluffy, so your baking powder must be too old.
I want to make these SO bad but I don’t have an oven! Could I use an electric wok or pressure cooker? Street vendors look like they use a griddle and maybe a bit of steam to cook their’s but I don’t know their technique~ (T_T)
Hi Maangchi
These egg bread are so yummy and very easy to bake.Thank you.

Sorry about the late reply! These look awesome and perfectly shaped!
Happy cooking!
This has become one of my favorite recipes. Winter was much longer and colder than usual. At the end of the day I was tired but wanted something hot and home cooked. 2-3 days a week I’d make a batch and unwind with all the warm, gooey goodness. Thanks so much!
Thank You for this recipe. It is ssooooo good.

Amazing! It looks so soft and fluffy!
Hi Maangchi,
This look absolutely delicious.
I dont have a mini loaf pan and would like to use normal muffin pan. Do i still crack a whole egg into each muffin hole?
If i dont have mozzarella, can i replace it with cheddar cheese?
This will be good for my kids’ breakfast!
Thanks
I just made these today and they tasted awesome! Instead of 3 tablespoons of sugar, I used 4. It is just the right amount of sweetness for me. I did however cook the eggs longer than necessary. At 13 mins, it was not cooked enough (egg was too runny) so I cooked them at 22 mins but it had more of a hard yolk taste. Since I want more of a soft cooked yolk, I will cook them at 18 mins next time.

Dear Maangchi,
I literally baked these delicious lovelies a moment ago for my kids! My son raved about how soft, fluffy and yummy they are and asked for me to bake a second batch for them to bring to school for breakfast. By the way, this was my first attempt and everything turned out so well. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes with us! Big hug.

yes, you must be a great baker! The gyeranppang you made looks so gorgeous and delicious. I’m so happy to hear that your son wanted you to bring the 2nd batch to his school for breakfast!
Hi….
I am a recipe blogger from India. When I saw your Egg Bread recipe online, I fell in love with it… Since my husband does not have sweets. I gave it a twist and made it savoury. Excellent recipe I must say. Thank you so much.
