Egg in a hole bacon grilled cheese

We love a good grilled cheese sandwich in this house. From creamy mushrooms to bacon and brie, we love ’em all. But this one, wowza. This is one good sandwich. Bacon and egg is always a good idea but when you sandwich the egg in between two slices of bread the yolk can often burst and that’s just a bummer. That’s why making an egg in a hole for the top layer of the grilled cheese is so genius. You get a perfectly done egg, crispy bread, gooey cheese AND crispy bacon. Guys. No really. It doesn’t come any better than this bad boy.

How to make an egg in a hole grilled cheese

  1. Bacon: I like cooking the bacon in the oven to get it to the perfect crispy texture. You can of course cook it on the stove too.
  2. Bread: I use thick slices of white bread but feel free to use any bread you prefer. Use a cookie cutter or glass and cut a hole out of the top slice of bread. Toast both slices of bread in a large pan, flipping the slice with the hole to ensure the outside is toasted. I like to add the cheese and bacon to the bottom slice the moment the bread goes into the pan to allow the cheese sufficient time to melt.
  3. Egg: Once the top slice has been flipped, add an egg into the hole. Season with salt and pepper than cover with a lid. Allow to cook until done to your preference then carefully plate the top slice onto the bacon and cheese. Remove from the pan, slice and serve.
