Instructions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Divvy the cheese between the slices of bread and place them on a baking sheet, cheese-side up. (And yes, 8 slices of cheese is a lot but it's also obscenely good. How much you use is between you and your scale.) Slide the baking sheet under the broiler and keep watch until the cheese melts, which will probably be a matter of seconds and not minutes.
- Heat about a teaspoon olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. After about 20 seconds, crack the egg into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and let the egg sit until the white sets completely. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Remove the melted cheese toasts from the broiler and slide onto a plate. Using a spatula, place the egg, sunny-side up, on a slice of cheesy toast. Top with bacon or ham, if desired, then top with the other cheese toast, cheese side down. Eat immediately, employing the hot sauce as desired, or return the sandwich to the skillet, adding more oil or butter if needed, and cook it as you would a grilled cheese sandwich until the bread is golden and crunchy, flipping the sandwich once. Then eat immediately.
