Carbonara Toast
Carbonara Toast
When you think of carbonara, you definetily don’t think of Korea or Japan. Carbonara toast happens to be really popular in these two countries. Instead of having these ingredients on noodles, it’s topped on bread and broiled. The honey butter adds a nice sweetness to the toast. The Japanese mayo comes in a tube, which is a really important factor in the preparation. Squirt the mayo around the perimeter of the toast creates a barrier, holding the cracked egg in the center. It also bakes into the bread, creating a richness to the toast. Broil the carbonara toast for 5 minutes. Turn the broiler off, but allow the toast to finish cooking in the oven for 2 more minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and more cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- Japanese mayo
- 2 large eggs
- cracked black pepper
- 2 strips bacon crumbled
- 2 tbsp parmesan or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
Instructions
- Place the bread on a rack on a baking sheet. Mix together the butter and honey. Spread the honey butter on both sides of the bread. Squirt the Japanese mayo around the perimeter of the bread.
- Crack an egg into the center of the bread. Season with cracked black pepper.
- Top the eggs with crumbled bacon and cheese.
- Place the pan on the middle rack in a cold oven. Turn on the broiler. Broil for 5 minutes. Turn off the broiler, but allow the toast to cook for 2 more minutes in the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley.
