Ingredients

Servings:
1
  • 1 Sliced bread
  • 1 piece Egg
  • 1 Sliced cheese (non-melting type recommended)
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • to taste Dried basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gently press down the center of the sliced bread with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a shallow well for the egg.

  2. 2

    Cut the sliced cheese into 4 thin strips. Fold each strip in half and carefully arrange them around the edges of the well you created in the bread, forming a border.

  3. 3

    Carefully crack the egg directly into the center well of the prepared bread.

  4. 4

    Place the bread with the egg and cheese onto a microwave-safe plate. Microwave at 600W for 20-30 seconds. This step helps to partially cook the egg white and ensure more even cooking later.

  5. 5

    While the bread is microwaving, preheat your toaster oven to 250°C (approximately 480°F) for about 6 minutes.

  6. 6

    Immediately transfer the microwaved bread to the preheated toaster oven. Bake until the egg white is fully set to your liking and the bread is golden brown and crispy, typically 5-7 minutes.

  7. 7

    Carefully remove the Laputa Toast from the toaster oven. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried basil (if using) to taste. Serve hot and enjoy your Ghibli-inspired breakfast!

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For the most authentic 'Castle in the Sky' experience, aim for a fully set egg white but a beautifully runny yolk.
  • 💡Using a non-melting cheese helps the border maintain its shape and prevents the cheese from spreading too much into the egg.
  • 💡Adjust microwave and toaster oven times based on your appliances; keep a close eye to prevent overcooking, especially the yolk.
