Ingredients
- 9 lasagna strips
- 8 fresh oysters, shucked
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna strips according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the poached eggs: In a pot of simmering water, crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Sauté the oysters: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shucked oysters and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of curry powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are just cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the lasagna: In a baking dish, layer 3 lasagna strips on the bottom. Spread half of the sautéed oysters over the strips, then add 2 poached eggs. Repeat with another layer of lasagna strips, the remaining oysters, and the remaining poached eggs. Top with the final layer of lasagna strips.
- Prepare the panko topping: In a bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining olive oil and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top layer of lasagna.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
