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.
Egg-in-a-Hole Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Egg-in-a-Hole Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- butter or margarine
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cook until bottom side of egg white is cooked then flip over.
- Add shredded cheese to one slice.
- 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.

And your holes, don’t forget the holes.

I’ll be linking up at some of the great parties found here.

I love your grilled cheese. I use to eat egg in the hole when I was a kid, but never had cheese with them – great idea.
Joan@chocolateandmore says
Thanks!
Heather Kinnaird says
I LOVE this idea – we eat our eggs like this all the time, but I never would have thought to make it a grilled cheese; very clever.

Joan@chocolateandmore says
Thanks Heather, I know, the cheese puts it over the top!
Terry says
Sounds great, must give it a try. Of course with all the yummy recipes posted this month, we might be eating a LOT of grilled cheese sandwiches! Thanks for stopping by my blog, #76.
Joan@chocolateandmore says
Terry, I see us eating grilled cheese all through the summer!
Adrianna from A Cozy Kitchen says
YAY! So glad you loved it! (Friendly side note: I didn’t adapt it from PW. I just added cheese and prosciutto to a normal egg-in-a-hole.)
Joan@chocolateandmore says
Adrianna, thanks for popping in, everyone in the house loved it along with the guy we hired to do some yard work, you are a genius!

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).
Joan@chocolateandmore says
My hubby is king of the egg-in-the-hole, he says it’s the pan that makes it, needs to be flat. I used a large griddle.
Debra Kapellakis says
