Steps

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150 °C) (150°C (300 °F)) and prepare a baking dish for the egg custard.
In a large mixing bowl, crack 15 eggs and add the milk and chicken powder (or mushroom powder).
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs and milk are fully combined and smooth.
Finely chop the spring onions and stir them into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour until the custard is set but still soft and smooth.
Once cooked, remove the egg custard from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the egg custard into portions that fit your brioche buns.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a thick slice of egg custard onto a toasted brioche bun and topping it with a slice of cheddar cheese.

Notes

The creator mentions this recipe is a recreation of a sandwich found in New York. While the transcript mentions cheddar cheese, viewers noted the visual appearance resembles American processed cheese; feel free to use your preferred melting cheese.
