- 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly greasing 4 individual small loaf pans or muffin tins. This ensures your Gyeranppang won't stick and will release beautifully after baking.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 150g all-purpose flour, 30g granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined. This dry mixture forms the base of your fluffy bread.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, combine 120ml whole milk, 1 large egg, and 20g melted unsalted butter. Whisk these wet ingredients until they are smooth and evenly incorporated, ready to meet the dry mixture.
- 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough bread; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- 5
Divide the batter evenly among your 4 prepared loaf pans or muffin tins, filling each mold about halfway. This leaves plenty of room for our star ingredient, the egg!
- 6
Carefully crack one large egg directly into the center of the batter in each mold. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt and another pinch of sugar over each egg to enhance its flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the bread (not the egg) comes out clean. The egg white should be fully set, but the yolk can still be delightfully jammy.
- 8
Once baked, carefully remove the Gyeranppang from the molds and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use standard muffin tins or silicone molds for Gyeranppang?+
Yes, standard muffin tins or silicone molds work wonderfully for Gyeranppang, especially if you don't have individual loaf pans. Just ensure they are well-greased.
How do I know when my Gyeranppang is perfectly cooked?+
The bread should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the bread portion (avoiding the egg) should come out clean. The egg whites should be fully set, though the yolk can be slightly runny for a richer taste.
Are there any optional ingredients I can add to customize my Gyeranppang?+
Absolutely! A sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, a small piece of cooked bacon, or even a few chopped chives can be added to the batter or around the egg before baking for extra flavor.
What's the best way to store and reheat leftover Gyeranppang?+
Gyeranppang is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them at room temperature for up to one day and reheat briefly in a microwave for 30 seconds or a toaster oven until warmed through.
