spicy creamy gochujang eggs - featured image

A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring creamy eggs infused with spicy Korean gochujang, fresh scallions, and toasted sesame seeds for a flavorful and comforting start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk (dairy-free milk can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients (5 minutes): Thinly slice the scallions, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant, then set aside. Crack eggs into a bowl.
  2. Beat Eggs and Mix (2 minutes): Add heavy cream (or milk), gochujang, salt, and a small pinch of black pepper to the eggs. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat the Skillet (1-2 minutes): Warm the non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
  4. Cook the Eggs (4-5 minutes): Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using your spatula, stir gently and continuously, folding slowly to create soft, creamy curds. When the eggs are about 80% cooked but still slightly runny, fold in the scallions.
  5. Final Touches (1 minute): Remove from heat just before fully set. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  6. Serve Immediately: Spoon onto warm plates and enjoy.

Notes

Keep heat low and stir slowly to avoid rubbery eggs. Toast sesame seeds for enhanced flavor. Adjust gochujang amount to control spice level. Use dairy-free milk or cream for a lighter or dairy-free version. Fold in scallions near the end to maintain freshness and crunch.
