Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

¾ cup half-and-half
1 large egg
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 thin slices white sandwich bread
2 slices American cheese
2 slices Cheddar cheese
2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs

Steps:

Whisk half-and-half, 1 egg, sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl until batter is smooth.
Place 2 bread slices on a work surface and top each with 1 slice American cheese, 1 slice Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Top each with a second piece of bread, making a sandwich. Cut a 2-inch hole in the center of each sandwich using a biscuit cutter or 2-inch wide glass.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, tilting the skillet to cover entire surface with butter. Dip both sandwich rings and cut-out holes in the batter until evenly coated.
Place the dipped sandwich rings and cut-out holes in the melted butter in the skillet. Immediately crack an egg into the hole of each ring. Cook until egg white is set, bread is golden brown, and cheese is softly melted, about 2 minutes per side.

Time 15m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 slices white bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 slice American cheese
1 slice pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with mayonnaise. Top 1 slice with American cheese and the other with pepper Jack, then sandwich them together. Cut the center out of the sandwich with a 2 1/2-inch ring mold.
Crack the egg into a small bowl.
Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, and swirl to coat the bottom. Arrange the inner and outer parts of the sandwich in the skillet, and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn each over, pour the egg into the hole, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the bottoms of the bread are golden brown, the egg whites are set and the yolk is still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. For the last minute of cooking, cover the pan with a lid to cook the egg white completely through. (The sandwich round may finish cooking faster.) Transfer the sandwich with the egg to a serving plate along with the sandwich round, to dip into the egg yolk.
