The ultimate breakfast

This is a simple omelette breakfast toastie, inspired by the Korean street food favorite called Gilgeori, that will set you up for the day ahead.

Gilgeori is a very popular street food toastie in Korea made  with eggs, carrots, cabbage and a few others things and while we think it is great and have the recipe on our site. I developed this recipe to get a similar hit of flavor without so much of the fuss making it the perfect choice for breakfast on a busy work day.

This is the basic recipe and you can add things to your hearts content and we have several ideas at the end of this post.
