A delectable twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich with fried eggs cooked right into the bread, making each bite an explosion of gooey, cheesy, eggy goodness.
Using a small empty can or a biscuit cutter, cut a circle out of the center of each slice of whole wheat sandwich bread.
2
Melt one tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides.
3
Place both bread slices in the skillet, break an egg into each hole, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the bread is golden brown on the bottom side, about 2 minutes.
4
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and carefully flip both slices of bread, ensuring the eggs don't break.
5
Place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on top of each bread slice.
6
Cook until golden brown on the second side, swirling the pan occasionally.
7
Combine the two slices of bread with the cheese inside, and continue to cook, flipping occasionally, until the eggs are soft-cooked and the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
