Judy Joo Instagram – Ad. Crispy, cheesy, and a little bit sweet…this is Korean Street Toast, the ultimate breakfast of champions. 🍞✨
@ocadouk just launched a Korean aisle featuring some of my go-to ingredients, so I had to share this quick and comforting classic. 🇰🇷
A favourite grab-and-go breakfast in Korea since the 1980s, Korean Street Toast (gilgeori toast) began as a street-cart staple for students and commuters rushing to school or work. Cheap, fast, nourishing, and satisfying & still a nostalgic comfort food today, with long lines at Seoul cafés serving their own versions. 💛
Fluffy omelet, melted cheese, deli meats, and buttery milk bread & finished with a sprinkle of sugar to balance the savoury flavours. It sounds unusual, but that touch of sweetness is what makes it unforgettable.
My secret weapon? Kewpie mayo, Japan’s iconic rich, tangy, and slightly sweet mayonnaise, and you can now find it on Ocado! Spread it on one slice, add ketchup on the other, and you’ve got the ultimate breakfast of champions.
Quick to make, easy to love, and impossible to forget. 💛
