Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 slices slices of bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage Finely shredded for better mixing
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise For spreading
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • butter for frying Use generously for best results
Optional toppings
  • cheese Optional
  • pickled radish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by finely shredding the cabbage and slicing the green onions.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add the shredded cabbage, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Cooking
  1. Place a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
  2. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set. Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs and allow them to cook until soft and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes total.
  3. While the eggs are cooking, in another skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the slices of bread to toast until they’re golden brown on one side.
  4. Once the bread is done, flip it over and spread a layer of mayonnaise on one side. Then, top with the fluffy egg mixture. If desired, add cheese or pickled radish for an extra burst of flavor. Top with the second slice of bread.
  5. Carefully flip the sandwich to toast the other side until it’s golden brown and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

If you're out of cabbage, feel free to use spinach or bell peppers. Make sure not to overcook the eggs; they should remain soft and fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to a month.
