How to Make a Delicious Scallion Toast Bursting with Butter and Scallion Aroma
Introducing a simple yet sophisticated scallion toast. The delightful sweetness of scallions combined with the savory notes of Parmesan cheese powder creates a unique and delicious twist on a classic toast. It’s perfect for breakfast or a snack!
Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 stalk of scallion (use both white and green parts)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 Tbsp mirin or cooking wine
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- Generous amount of butter (for greasing the pan)
- Parmesan cheese powder (to taste)
- Parsley flakes (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 3 eggs into a wide bowl. Add a pinch of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of mirin (or cooking wine), and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Whisk everything together thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined. It’s best to ensure the sugar is dissolved.
Step 2
Wash the scallion thoroughly and finely chop it into small pieces, about 0.5 cm thick, using both the white and green parts. Using plenty of scallions will give the toast a wonderfully aromatic flavor. You can also use other types of scallions or green onions.
Step 3
Add all the chopped scallions to the egg mixture and stir evenly with a spoon or spatula. Ensure the scallions are well dispersed within the egg batter. Letting it sit for a moment will allow the scallion flavor to infuse into the eggs more deeply.
Step 4
Now, heat a pan over medium-low heat and melt a generous amount of butter. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the butter from burning. Tilt the pan to ensure the melted butter coats the entire surface evenly.
Step 5
Dip one slice of bread into the egg and scallion mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Make sure the egg mixture with scallions adheres evenly to the bread. Handle it gently to prevent the bread from breaking. Allow the bread to soak up the mixture sufficiently before removing.
Step 6
Place the egg-coated bread onto the buttered pan and cook over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning, flipping the toast every 2-3 minutes. This will result in a delicious toast that’s crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked toast to a plate. While it’s still warm, sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese powder. If desired, add parsley flakes for an extra touch of color and flavor. The combination of soft texture, savory cheese, and sweet scallion aroma makes this toast truly special!
