Start with 2 pieces of Texas Toast, which is thick white bread.

Place 1 slice of American cheese on the bread.

Add a slice of ham on top of the cheese.

Add another layer of cheese if desired.

Spread Kewpie mayo on top of the bread.

Take an egg (room temperature) and crack it into the indentation on the toast.

Shred some cheese and place it around the yolk, ensuring the yolk is exposed.

Season with a pinch of salt and cracked pepper.

Place the toast on a baking sheet.

For a second version, press the bread down to make a deeper well for the egg.

Spread softened butter on the second slice of bread and butter the sides.

Add 1 small clove of minced garlic in the middle of the second slice.

Add more cheese around the edge of the second slice, keeping the yolk exposed.

Season with salt and pepper on the second slice.

Preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the toasts for about 15 minutes, or until the yolks are cooked to your liking.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
