By Gousto

Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), Sophie cooks a breakfast of bacon, eggs over a fire pit. (29 mins 12 seconds)

Tuck into a Studio Ghibli favourite, inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle. You’ll layer smoky bacon, melty cheese and a crispy fried egg in a bun, and serve with a side of spiced garlic potatoes. It’s breakfast for dinner, the Gousto way.

Cooking instructions 35 mins

For 2 people [double for 4]

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 180ºC (fan) / gas 6. Cut the potatoes (skins on) into small bite-sized pieces. Peel and finely slice the red onion[s]. Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic.

Step 2

Add the chopped potatoes to a baking tray with the chopped garlic, ground smoked paprika and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Season with a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for an initial 25 min or until the potatoes are golden.

Step 3

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a knob of butter over a medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and sugar and cook for 8-9 min or until softened and caramelised. Once softened, transfer the caramelised onion to a small bowl, reserving the pan, with the chilli relish and 1 tsp [2 tsp] cold water – this is your sweet onion chilli relish.

Step 4

While the onion is cooking, add the smoked streaky bacon to a separate baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!) and put the tray in the oven for 10-15 min or until golden and crispy. Dice the tomato[es] and wash the gem lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely.

Step 5

Add the shredded lettuce and diced tomato to a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your tomato salad. Grate the lighter cheese and slice the ciabattas in half.

Step 6

Once the potatoes have been cooking for 25 min, move them to one side and add the sliced ciabatta to the other side of the baking tray. Tip: Cooking for 4? Use 2 trays! Top the ciabatta bases with the grated cheese and put the tray[s] in the oven for a final 5 min or until the ciabattas are crusty and the cheese has melted.

Step 7

Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil. Once hot, crack the eggs into the pan and cook, covered, for 2-3 min or until done to your liking. Tip: Give your eggs a little shake before you crack for perfectly centred yolks!

Step 8

To build, add a dollop of sweet onion chilli relish to your cheesy ciabatta base and top with crispy bacon, a fried egg and a ciabatta lid – this is your cheesy bacon & egg sandwich. Serve with the crispy spiced potatoes and top with a dollop of remaining sweet onion chilli relish. Serve the tomato salad to the side. Enjoy!
