Eggs in a Nest with Cheese

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salted butter

  softened
• 1 slice bread
• 1 large egg
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 slice American cheese

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter on a griddle or in a large skillet, over low to
  medium heat.
• 2 Butter both sides of the bread with the remaining butter.
• 3 Cut a hole in the center of the bread with a small biscuit cutter or knife. Set
  the cut circle aside; you'll fry it up with the main slice.
• 4 Add the bread to the hot griddle.
• 5 Crack the egg into the hole.
• 6 Cook 'til the egg slightly sets on the bottom, and sprinkle with salt and
  pepper.
• 7 Flip and cook the other side of the egg and bread, 'til the egg is cooked, the
  yolk is soft, and the bread is golden brown.
• 8 If desired, flip again and melt the slice of cheese on top. You can make this
  without cheese, but trust me when I say, cheese makes everything better.
• 9 Serve while warm.
