Potato Gnocchi In Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:
For The Gnocchi:
  • 500g potatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar/mozzarella mix or processed cheese)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder or 1 small clove garlic grated (optional)
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (as needed to form dough)
For The Cheese Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1.5 cups milk (warm)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp mixed herbs or oregano
Method:
1. Boiling Potatoes
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
  • Boil them whole with skin in salted water until fork tender (about 20–25 mins).
  • Drain, let cool slightly, peel, and mash well (no lumps).
2. Mix Seasonings And Cheese, Then Shape
To The Mashed Potatoes, Add:
  • Grated cheese
  • Salt, pepper, chilli flakes, garlic (optional)
  • Mix well and gradually add flour and knead lightly into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Don’t overwork it.
  • Divide into portions, roll into thin logs, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Optionally press each piece with a fork for texture.
3.⁠ ⁠Boil The Gnocchi
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Drop gnocchi pieces in batches.
  • Once they float to the top (about 1–2 mins), they’re done.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside with a little oil to prevent sticking.
4.⁠ ⁠Make The Cheese Sauce
  • In a pan, melt butter on medium heat.
  • Add flour, whisk and cook for 1–2 mins (make a roux).
  • Gradually pour in warm milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Once it thickens (coats back of a spoon), turn heat to low.
  • Add cheese, stir until melted and smooth.
  • Add salt, pepper, mustard powder, and herbs.
5.⁠ ⁠Add Gnocchi And Serve
  • Add the boiled gnocchi into the hot cheese sauce.
  • Toss gently to coat evenly.
  • Serve hot with extra herbs, chilli flakes, or a sprinkle of parmesan.

Korean Egg Drop Sandwich

Ingredients:
For The Sandwich:
  • 4 slices of thick milk bread / brioche (or any soft bread)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for toasting)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp milk (optional – makes eggs softer)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp butter (for scrambling eggs)
  • 2 slices of cheese (American or cheddar)
  • Chopped parsley or chives (for garnish)
For The Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • Optional: ½ tsp honey or sugar (for a slightly sweet twist, Korean-style)
Instructions:
1.⁠ ⁠Toast The Bread
  • Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each bread slice.
  • Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat and toast the slices until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Set aside.
2.⁠ ⁠Prepare The Eggs:
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Whisk well until the yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy.
3.⁠ ⁠Cook The Scrambled Eggs:
  • In a pan, melt 1 tsp butter over low heat.
  • Pour in the whisked eggs. Let it sit for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.
  • Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges to the center, creating soft folds.
  • Keep the heat low and stir gently until the eggs are just cooked and still a little runny – they should be soft and creamy. Remove from heat.
4.⁠ ⁠Make the Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and ketchup.
  • Add honey/sugar if you’d like it slightly sweet, as in the classic Korean version.
5.⁠ ⁠Assemble The Sandwich:
  • Take two slices of toasted bread.
  • Spread the mayo-ketchup sauce generously on the inner sides.
  • Place one slice of cheese on one bread slice.
  • Add a generous portion of the soft scrambled eggs.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch.
  • Close with the second bread slice or serve open-faced, café-style.
Serving Tips:
  • You can serve this with a side of hash browns, fries, or a fresh fruit cup.
  • For extra richness, add a drizzle of condensed milk on top – a popular Korean café twist
