Egg-in-a-Hole Grilled Cheese

It’s time for the Crazy Cooking Challenge again.

This month it’s Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!

I’ve got 3 kids, I was a kid, hubby was a kid, and every kid eats grilled cheese sandwiches.

I was looking forward to the challenge of something different than just cheese between two slices of bread but when I started searching, I kept finding things like avocado, spinach, tomatoes. No way my kids are going to eat any of that in a grilled cheese.

Then I found it. over at A Cozy Kitchen. Adrianna had the perfect sandwich for my family. She adapted the famous Egg-in-a-Hole from The Pioneer Woman and made it the perfect anytime sandwich-breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices of your favorite bread
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • butter or margarine

Instructions

  1. Using a biscuit cutter or other round cutter, cut a hole in each slice of bread. I used my homemade Wheat Bread. Save the holes.
  2. Butter both sides of the bread. (I found it easiest to butter the top side after it was on the griddle. ) Don't forget those little holes you cut out. Butter those too.
  3. Place bread slices on preheated griddle, break one egg into each hole. Salt and pepper to taste. And your holes, grill them at the same time.
  4. Cook until bottom side of egg white is cooked then flip over.
  5. Add shredded cheese to one slice.
  6. Continue cooking until egg is desired doneness, I recommend medium hard, otherwise it's going to be really messy to eat. Create your sandwich by flipping the naked slice (the one without the cheese) onto the other slice.

    I often make breakfast sandwiches out of toast and eggs cooked up with some cheese on top. I’m going to have to give this a try! Thanks for stopping by my FB page!

    Ha! This is awesome – I’d have never even thought about it.
    We love eggs in the hole and we love grilled cheese, so we are definitely going to give your sandwich a try and combine them.

    I used to have one-eyed-jacks when I was a kid. They are the same as your egg in the hole. What a great idea to make it into a grilled cheese sandwich! Delicious!

    Now this is one I could make for my kids (though oldest won’t eat eggs -argh). I love it! Never made egg in a hole either so new one for our family! Great twist on the challenge.

    I have never perfected the egg in a hole , even though it seems so easy. This sounds like a great breakfast to try though. Please stop by my Breakfast Grilled Chees (#43).
