    What is an Egg Drop Sandwich?

    They're called egg drop sandwiches because they're named after Egg Drop (에그드랍) which is the name of the popular Korean sandwich shop that created this sensation.

    There's many different fillings and variations to this scrambled egg sandwich including teriyaki bbq and avocado toppings and garlic bread.

    They've become so popular, they've even appeared on popular TV shows such as Hospital Playlist.

    1. Heat pan over medium low heat and melt the rest of the butter. Gently stir the eggs with a flat spatula until it begins to set. Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the heat. Any uncooked eggs should set from the residual heat of the pan.
    2. Spread the sriracha mayo sauce on the insides of the toast.

    1. Add the scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese while still hot.
    2. Finally drizzle on the egg drop sauce (sweet mayo sauce) and sprinkle parsley or chives to finish.

    Expert Tips:

    1. Add heavy cream when beating the eggs for richer, creamier scrambled eggs.
    2. Use thick slices of bread that can stand up to the eggs, ham, and cheese.
    3. Soft, fluffy scrambled eggs - Cook over medium low heat and gently stir using a flat spatula.
    4. Don't overcook the eggs - Turn off the heat once it's almost set. The residual heat will continue cooking the eggs.
    5. Add the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese to melt it.
