When winter arrives and the chill sets in, few things are as comforting as a warm snack to lift your spirits. Enter Gyeranppang, or “egg bread,” a beloved Korean street food that feels like a cozy hug in every bite.

This oval-shaped delight features a soft, sweet, cake-like base with a whole egg nestled right in the center.

It’s a familiar combination — fluffy bread paired with a baked egg — but somehow, gyeranppang transforms the ordinary into something deeply satisfying.

Lightly salted with a touch of sweetness, it’s the perfect on-the-go snack for braving the bustling streets while keeping your hands — and your soul — warm.

Over the years, modern twists have elevated this humble classic into something even more irresistible. Picture gooey melted cheese oozing from the center, savory chunks of ham, bursts of sweet corn, or the aromatic punch of fresh herbs. These variations make each bite a delightful surprise, catering to cravings both simple and indulgent.

Why not grab a gyeranppang this winter and rediscover the charm of uncomplicated street food? One bite, and you’ll understand why this snack is a cold-weather favorite for locals and visitors alike.
