Steps
Prepare the ingredients
Prepare 2 thick slices of sliced bread, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup milk.
Keep the ratio of egg to milk roughly equal.
Make the egg mixture
In a bowl with 2 eggs, add 2 tbsp sugar, 1/3 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup milk, then whisk well.
Whisking until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved, the eggs are well beaten, and slight bubbles form makes the toast much softer.
Pan-fry
Coat the sliced bread evenly in the egg mixture, and while letting it soak through to the center, melt the butter in a pan preheated over low heat.
Place the egg-soaked bread in the pan and cook over low heat so it does not burn.
Since the bread is thick, cook it slowly on both sides until the egg mixture is set, golden, and slightly crisp.
Scramble the remaining egg mixture and place it on top of the bread.
Finish
I blended blueberries to drink with it.
Quench your thirst with milk or juice, and serve alongside seasonal fruits like tomatoes or Korean melon for a well-balanced home brunch.
Using equal parts milk and egg rather than having a higher ratio of egg makes the toast truly moist and soft.
Try enjoying it with cinnamon powder or grated cheese according to your preference.
