Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, room temperature, for bread
8 slices cranberry-walnut or country-style bread
6 ounces raclette or Gruyere, grated
4 large eggs
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Truffle honey or regular honey (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place 4 slices in skillet, buttered side down. Top bread with cheese, reduce heat to low, and cook until underside is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.
  • Top with remaining bread, buttered side up, turn sandwiches and cook until second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle sandwiches with honey and top each with a fried egg.
