Ingredients
- Eggs
- 4, beaten

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the bean sprouts, chopped green onions, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil if desired. Pour a quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet, cooking until set, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to create four patties.

Tips
- For an extra crunch, consider adding shredded carrots or sliced jalapeños to the egg mixture.
- If you prefer whole grain or gluten-free bread, feel free to substitute it for the white bread.
- Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
