Egg in a Hole Sandwich
With Bacon and Cheddar Cheese. This is a twist on my Eggs in Basket recipe. This is a knife and fork type sandwich, and sounds good!
Ingredients
- 2 slices smoked bacon
- 2 slices thick cut bread, sourdough would be perfect
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
- hot sauce, optional, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- Use a drinking glass and cut a hole in the middle of each slice of bread.
- When the bacon is cooked, remove from pan and cut in half crosswise and set aside. Pour out half of the bacon fat into a small bowl. Place the two slices of bread in the pan cook until the bottom side is just getting golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Crack an egg into each hole in the bread, season eggs with salt and pepper to your liking and cook until the underside is set, about 2 minutes.
- Flip each slice over to set the whites and cook for about 1 minute. The intention is to have set whites and a runny yolk. Add the butter to pan and tilt the pan back and forth to distribute the butter evenly.
- Flip the bread over again and top one slice with the cheese slices, then the bacon, and add the other slice on top. Transfer to a place, cut in half through the yolk, enjoy.
