Equipment

Non-stick Skillet
Silicone Spatula

Ingredients

1 slice Milk bread *use 2 slices for a full sandwich, if you like
2 eggs *preferably organic, free run eggs
2 Tbsp unsalted butter *divided
2 slices ham
2 slices cheese
1 drizzle sweetened condensed milk
1 drizzle Kewpie mayo

Instructions

Toast bread. In a non-stick skillet, add 1 Tbsp butter. Melt butter gently over medium heat. Add a slice of bread and toast on both sides until golden brown. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
Make scrambled eggs. Meanwhile, add two eggs to a small bowl and whisk until smooth and runny. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Whisk again, making sure there are no lumps. After removing the bread from the skillet, lower to medium low heat. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter. After it melts, pour eggs into the pan. Use a rubber spatula to scramble the eggs slowly and gently. When the eggs are 90% done, turn off the heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs.
Assemble sandwich. Gently mark a line down the middle of the toasted bread with a butter knife. This will make the sandwich easier to fold. Add the ham, cheese, and scrambled eggs. Work quickly so the residual heat of the eggs gently melts the cheese.
Drizzle. Holding the folded Egg Drop sandwich in one hand, add a thin drizzle of sweetened condensed milk on top. Add another drizzle of kewpie mayo.
Serve. Sprinkle parsley over the top, if using. Serve immediately!

Notes

Variations:

Garlic Bread. Swap the white bread with thick slices of store-bought or homemade garlic bread. Adds a delicious garlic butter flavor.

Avocado. For avocado enthusiasts, I recommend adding both mashed avocado and sliced avocado. Cut one small avocado in half. Mash one-half of the avocado with a fork, making sure to add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Slice the other half and season with salt and pepper. Layer the toast with the mashed avocado, eggs, and sliced avocado on top. If you like, add a thin drizzle of ranch sauce. Enjoy!

French Toast. For a sweeter version -- swap the regular bread with french toast. A light dusting of powdered sugar completes the vibe. To make the french toast, whisk an egg with a splash of milk and a pinch of sugar. Dip the milk bread into the egg mixture and cook on both sides with butter.
