Ingredients
- 2 slices thick bread sourdough, brioche, or whole wheat
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or gruyere
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil for dairy-free
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: chives paprika, hot sauce
Instructions
- Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut a hole (2–3 inches wide) in the center of each bread slice.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and toast bread until golden on one side.
- Flip the bread slices. Add the remaining butter to the pan.
- Crack one egg into each hole. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle cheese around the egg and on the bread edges.
- Cover the skillet and cook until egg whites are set and cheese is melted (about 2–3 minutes).
- Garnish with chives, paprika, or hot sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thick bread to prevent sogginess.
- For runny yolks, cook uncovered; for firmer yolks, cover for an extra minute.
- Dairy-free? Swap cheese for vegan shreds and butter for olive oil.
- Save the cut-out bread circles—they make perfect little toast bites.
