Cheesy Eggs in a Nest

[Easy Recipe Finder]

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 slices of thick cut crusty bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1-3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions

1. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, or an empty tomato paste can, cut a hole in each of the slices of bread to create a place for the egg to sit.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place two of the slices of bread in the skillet. Cook until the first side is browned (about 30 seconds), then flip. Place little bits of the remaining butter into the holes of each piece of bread.
3. Crack one egg into each of the holes in the bread and cook until the whites are halfway set. Flip each bread with a thin spatula and top each evenly with shredded cheddar.* Cover the skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds more or until cheese is melted. Placed finished "nests" on a plate. Repeat with remaining bread and eggs.
4. To keep each batch warm, place finished nests on a cookie sheet and place in a 200 degrees F oven.

*Like your eggs runnier? Don't flip your toast. Carefully crack your egg into the cut out hole. Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until egg has just set and whites are opaque. Top with cheese and recover pan for 30 seconds.
