Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, divided

• 2 large eggs (extra-large)
• 2/3 cup cheddar cheese (good quality, grated)

Recipe

• 1 place oven rack in lowest position.

• 5 using a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or drinking glass, press a hole in the center of each bread slice; discard the cutout rounds.
• 6 divide the remaining tablespoon of butter between the 2 holes in the bread.
• 7 when butter begins to foam, crack an egg into each hole.
• 8 cook until the egg whites set about halfway up the sides of the yolks.
• 9 flip the bread with a spatula and cook for another minute or so.
• 10 remove bread from skillet and place onto a broiler pan.
• 11 spread grated cheese thoroughly over the bread (covering as much surface area as possible to prevent the bread from burning).
• 12 place pan under the broiler.
• 13 remove as soon as the cheese melts.
• 14 serve with broiled tomatoes or a simply dressed green salad but i would want some bacon and fruit added to feel well-fed. :-) .
