Egg in a hole bacon grilled cheese
Description
Egg in a hole bacon grilled cheese features slices of bread with circular cut-outs where eggs are cooked directly in a skillet. The recipe incorporates cooked streaky bacon and a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses placed beneath the egg. Bread slices and their cut-out rounds are buttered and toasted, adding crispness and buttery flavor. Eggs are gently cracked into the holes and cooked to preference, providing a tender center contrasting with the toasted bread and melted cheeses. This creates a multi-textured sandwich layering smoky bacon, creamy cheese, and soft egg.
The cooking method involves toasting both sides of bread and cut-outs until golden, then adding the egg in place and covering the pan to cook gently. Once cooked, the egg in the hole bread is stacked atop the bacon and cheese, then allowed to rest briefly before slicing. This creates a convenient hand-held meal combining familiar breakfast flavors with a twist.
This grilled cheese sandwich with egg and bacon works well as a filling breakfast or weekend brunch. It pairs simply with fresh fruit or a cup of coffee. Cooking the eggs directly in bread holes adds presentation interest and helps contain the yolk.
