Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients for the delicious dishes we’re about to make: the tomato and egg stir-fry (Todakbok) and the French toast. If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes will work just as wonderfully.
Step 2
For the French toast, cut the bread slices into triangular shapes. This is a common and easy shape to work with, but any shape you prefer will be fine.
Step 3
Wash the fresh cherry tomatoes thoroughly under running water, remove the stems, and cut them in half. Cutting them allows their juices to release slightly, enhancing the flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious egg mixture! Crack 5 fresh eggs into a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of fragrant black pepper. Pour in 150ml of creamy milk and a pinch of salt for seasoning. Whisk everything together gently until well combined.
Step 5
We’ll divide the prepared egg mixture for different uses. About 1/3 of the total mixture will be for the French toast; for this, add an extra 2 tablespoons of condensed milk to make it sweeter and richer. The remaining 2/3 will be for the tomato egg stir-fry, so add a bit more salt to enhance its savory flavor.
Step 6
Pour the portion of egg mixture designated for French toast into a shallow, wide dish. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Allow the bread to soak for about 5 seconds to ensure the egg mixture is fully absorbed, resulting in a wonderfully moist French toast.
Step 7
Heat about 0.5 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, carefully place the egg-coated bread slices into the pan. Cook until each side is golden brown and beautifully toasted, flipping gently. Since the eggy bread doesn’t absorb much oil, you can use a smaller amount of butter for cooking.
Step 8
Now, let’s stir-fry the vegetables for the tomato egg dish. Melt about 0.5 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the halved cherry tomatoes and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Lightly season with a pinch of salt, then immediately turn off the heat. Transfer the stir-fried tomatoes and onions to a separate bowl.
Step 9
Wipe the frying pan clean with a paper towel and reheat it over medium-low heat with about 0.5 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the egg mixture reserved for the Todakbok. As the edges of the egg mixture begin to set, gently stir it with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan. When the eggs are just starting to form soft curds and are still slightly undercooked, turn off the heat. Continue stirring for about 20 seconds using the residual heat. This technique will yield incredibly tender and fluffy scrambled eggs. It’s the secret to perfect scrambled eggs!
Step 10
The final step is simple! Add the pre-stir-fried tomatoes and onions to the softly cooked scrambled eggs. Gently mix everything together until just combined, and your delicious tomato and egg stir-fry (Todakbok) is ready! Be careful not to overmix, as this can break down the tomatoes.
Step 11
And there you have it – a fantastic breakfast or brunch! Serving it alongside the freshly made French toast will make the meal even more satisfying and delicious. The addition of milk to the egg mixture ensures an extra tender and moist tomato and egg stir-fry. Enjoy your meal!
