Korean Veggie Egg Sandwich
Making my Korean Veggie Egg Sandwich is always a delight. First, I gather green cabbage, carrot sticks, and green onion in a bowl. I add sea salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick. Mixing it all together makes the veggies soft and tasty.
Preparing the Egg Mix
Next, I crack two large eggs into the veggie mix. I stir it well until everything is blended nicely. Then, I heat butter in a pan and toast thick slices of whole wheat bread until they’re golden brown and crispy on both sides. I set them aside on a plate.
Cooking the Veggie Patty
In the same pan, I melt more butter and cook the veggie and egg mix until it holds its shape. I shape it into patties and cook until they’re golden brown. While that sizzles, I cook smoked turkey slices until they’re hot and lay Swiss cheese on top to melt.

Assembling and Serving
I put one veggie patty on a slice of toast and sprinkle sugar on top. Then, I stack the turkey and melted cheese on top. On the remaining toast, I spread mustard and mayonnaise and place it on the sandwich stack. Finally, I cut it in half and enjoy the savory and sweet flavors bursting in each bite.
