Ingredients:
- 2 slices of brioche or soft sandwich bread
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: kimchi or pickled vegetables for extra flavor
Steps:
Prepare the Bread:
Toast the slices of bread lightly until golden brown. You can spread a bit of butter on the bread before toasting for extra richness if desired.Cook the Egg:
Heat the sesame oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan and fry it to your liking—whether sunny-side up or over-easy—seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. The runny yolk adds a rich texture to the sandwich, but cook it longer if you prefer it firm.Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and gochujang together until smooth. Adjust the amount of gochujang based on how spicy you want it.Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread the spicy mayo sauce on one or both slices of toasted bread. On the bottom slice, layer the fried egg, followed by the cucumber, avocado, and spinach. If you like, add a small spoonful of kimchi or pickled vegetables for an extra tangy, flavorful kick.Finish and Serve:
Place the top slice of bread on the sandwich, gently press down to hold everything together, and slice it in half. Serve immediately and enjoy the bold flavors in every bite!
