  • Start with an even number of bread slices. Sliced sandwich bread works best, so all the toasts come out neatly matched. If you don't have any, use whatever you've got, but cut the pieces into equal shapes so the bread seals well and the toast turns out both tasty and good-looking. Cut a circle out of the center of each slice — use a glass, a cookie cutter, or just a knife. Melt half the butter in a skillet. A heavy-bottomed skillet works fine, or use a grill pan to get pretty golden sear marks. Lay the prepared bread on the hot skillet and crack an egg into the hole in each slice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and fry until golden on the bottom, nudging with a spatula now and then so it doesn't stick or burn. Over medium heat this takes about 2 minutes — don't overdo it, or the yolk will set. Add the rest of the butter to the pan, carefully flip each slice, and fry the other side. After a couple of minutes, lay a slice of hard cheese on top of each piece. Wait about a minute until it starts to melt, then press the slices together so the cheese is sandwiched inside. Toast for about another minute per side, until the cheese binds the two halves together and a golden crust forms. In a perfectly made cheese and egg toast, the slices are held together by melted, slightly oozing cheese, and the yolk stays soft when you bite in. Plate the sandwiches and serve hot with coffee, tea, or your drink of choice. Enjoy!
